If you find the camera to be too close in Outcast: A New Beginning, then you can move it back. To see how you can change the field of view in this third-person action game, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.
1. To start off, you need to open the in-game menu.
2. From there, navigate over to the Settings screen.
3. In the Settings section, make sure you are in the Gameplay tab.
4. You should be able to find the FOV slider there.
The default value is 70. You will be able to adjust it from a range of 40 to 100.
