<p>Insomniac, creators of classic games franchises like <em>Ratchet &; Clank, Spyro the Dragon</em> and <em>Resistance</em>, announced today that their next game will appear on Facebook, the first entry into the social gaming scene for the developer. <em>Outernauts</em> combines Insomniac’s storytelling abilities and unique art style into an adventure role-playing game.</p>

Players will be able to explore planets, search for loot and play alongside or against friends.</p>
<blockquote><p>“We see a huge opportunity to reach an entirely different audience of gamers through Facebook,” said Ted Price, President and Founder of Insomniac Games. “As we have demonstrated for nearly twenty years in the console games space, we’re confident we can help evolve the definition of a game experience on Facebook. With <em>Outernauts</em>, we are delivering a deep story with real RPG strategy, coupled with Insomniac’s signature sense of humor.”</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Outernauts</em> is currently in a closed beta testing phase and will launch on Facebook this summer.<br />
