IGN has shared a video, showcasing 11 minutes of gameplay from Obsidian’s first-person sci-fi RPG, The Outer Worlds 2. Since this video is from a preview build, it does not represent the quality of the final game. Still, it will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
In The Outer Worlds 2, you will have to uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation will lead you to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, will rest on your decisions.
The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s so-called benevolent rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. Thus, players will navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink.
As with the previous game, you will be able to build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. According to the devs, the colony will react to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own.
Moreover, like all other RPGs, you will be able to recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. You can also choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives.
Microsoft plans to release The Outer Worlds 2 in 2025. However, we don’t know exactly when it will come out. My guess is that we’ll get a release date at the June Xbox Showcase event.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
