Obsidian Entertainment has announced the release date for The Outer Worlds 2.
The Outer Worlds’ sequel is set to debut on 29th October, across Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It will also be available on Game Pass when it releases. The news was shared with a new story trailer, which you can see below.
“The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning, first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!),” reads the trailer’s official blurb. “Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!
“As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.”
We will likely hear even more at the dedicated Outer Worlds 2 showcase coming up in about half an hour or so, so stay tuned.
Elsewhere this evening, Xbox again confirmed Hollow Knight Silksong will release this year, but alas, we still don’t have a firm date. We also got a look at the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s DLC, Order of Giants. This chap is set for release in September.
