About
The Outer Worlds 2 is the sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment.
Story
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.
What is happening now
The Outer Worlds 2 is a role-playing adventure developed by Obsidian Entertainment, continuing the studio's tradition of narrative-driven sci-fi worlds. The game launched in late October 2025 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Since release, the game has weathered industry turbulence following layoffs at Obsidian, with leadership defending the studio's creative continuity. Developers have emphasized that the design sensibility connecting earlier titles like Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Fallout: New Vegas persists in this sequel. Looking ahead, Obsidian has begun teasing expansion content, signaling ongoing support nearly a year after launch.
