Outworld 2375 AD is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive fitness action driving game scheduled to be published by HeartBeat Corporation sometime in 1994 or 1995. Specifically designed to utilize the fitness sensor-integrated Mega Drive peripheral HeartBeat Catalyst^[1]^[2], it would have been the second game to feature compatibility with the unique hardware (after the company's previous Outback Joey), but ultimately went unreleased.

History

One of the game's only known advertisements.

Outworld 2375 AD was advertised alongside NHLPA Hockey '93 as "the second wave of HeartBeat games".^[2] While the latter did see the light of day (notably lacking HeartBeat Catalyst support), the former had its release cancelled.

Legacy

Development

Originally known under the working tile Outworld^[3], Outworld 2375 AD progressed as far along into development as to acquire an official UPC code, and photographic slides were produced and sent to a few contemporary video game magazines. Additionally, a collector in Lansing, Michigan claims to own a prototype copy of the game, a claim with appears to be genuine.

While the company which developed Outworld 2375 AD is unknown, Heartbeat Corporation's only other video game, Outback Joey, was developed by Western Technologies.
