The long-awaited The Outer Worlds 2 is set to launch in 2025, bringing a brand-new adventure to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. Publisher Xbox Game Studios and developer Obsidian Entertainment made the exciting announcement at The Game Awards 2024. The PlayStation 5 version is a fresh addition to the platforms, and the game will also be available on Game Pass from day one.

First Outer Worlds 2 gameplay trailer revealed

A first look at The Outer Worlds 2 gameplay was revealed during The Game Awards 2024. The trailer showcased the new colony, Arcadia, filled with intrigue, factions, and challenges. Players will step into the boots of an Earth Directorate agent, tasked with uncovering the cause of mysterious rifts threatening the galaxy. With its signature humour, the trailer teased player-driven choices, character customisation, and the return of witty dialogue.

Arcadia isn’t just about saving the galaxy—it’s also a battleground of competing factions. From the Protectorate’s rule to a rebellious scientific religious order and a corporate mega power, players must navigate alliances and rivalries to shape the fate of the colony.

RPG elements and player choices

As an RPG, The Outer Worlds 2 embraces player freedom. You can craft your character with abilities, flaws, and skills that reflect your style. Whether you prefer diplomacy, chaos, or strategy, the game adapts to your approach. And yes, as the trailer reminds us, you can still play as a “dumb” character—an option many fans enjoyed in the first game.

Companions will return, offering both support in battles and their own stories. These characters react to your choices, providing encouragement or criticism based on your actions.
