Not to be confused withThe Outer Wilds , the indie statute title that launched in the same year asThe Outer Worlds , The Outer Worlds 2is anupcoming video gamesequel to the dystopian sci - fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment that Xbox announced during E3 2021 . The first plot was well - received , with some considering it one ofthe best Xbox Series X game , leading many to question whether this new universe would ever descend back . In a world wherePerfect DarkandGears of War : E - Dayare approaching Xbox Series X game , it seems like anything is possible . Many ( including us ) were surprised to see intelligence about this game , and while there is n’t much to go on just yet , we can make a few informed guesses on inside information we will get later on . For now , here ’s everything we make out , and suspect , aboutThe Outer Worlds 2 .

Spoiler warning signal : The Outer Worlds 2will also show up on the list ofupcoming PS5 gamesandupcoming PC secret plan , but wo n’t make it to theupcoming Switch gameslist . It might appear on ourupcoming Switch 2 gameslist , though .

The Outer Worlds 2 release window

The Outer Worlds 2is schedule to arrive sometime in 2025 , but no specific date or season has been given . However , given thatAvowedis come early in the year , it would make gumption forThe Outer Worlds 2to be determine for a fall or winter release .

Xbox announce its Games Showcase for June 8 of this year with a specialThe Outer Worlds 2direct set to air correctly after . This would be a perfect opportunity for a release date to be revealed .

The Outer Worlds 2 platforms

Xbox has already been moving away from exclusives , and withThe Outer Worlds 2 , PS5 player wo n’t even have to hold back before it gets a port . The Outer Worlds 2will launching on Xbox , personal computer , and PS5 at the same time in 2025 .

Trailers

The reveal trailer , which is more of a teaser than anything else , is prime self - cognizant comedy . The trailer ’s narrator offend the fourth wall basically instantly , mocking how traditional teasers and reveals are shot . They show off a coolheaded freak and immediately remark that it wo n’t be in the last biz , then mock how slow - move activity shots are used to make things seem cool than they are to bump pre - order and how they all have to end with musical cue placed over wholesale shots of the environment until we get to a silhouette of the protagonist .

Obsidian , via the humourous storyteller , is upfront about the fact that they have no character models , gameplay , or anything else about the game complete except for the claim . Alone , that tormentor really give us very little to solve with except for the fact thatThe Outer Worlds 2is being made , and will also be gear up in quad . Thankfully , a little more data has creeped out about the secret plan .

Thanks to an official tweet of the teaser from The Outer Worlds history , the squad added a few brief pedigree : “ New star system of rules . young crew . Same Outer Worlds . ” From that , we can bear a few thing . First , we ’re going to be leaving the Halcyon arrangement , or at least be capable to go to a new adept system in gain to it . Second , there will be an entirely novel work party of companions , and quite possibly a new booster as well . Finally , this biz will not be a major departure from what we all loved about the original secret plan .

Moon Man remains the logo forThe Outer Worlds 2,but is the mascot for the potbelly Spacer ’s Choice in the game , inferring that there will be at least some standoff - ins with the first secret plan . weigh one of the possible ending forThe Outer Worldsinvolving the luck of the Halcyon Holdings which possess Spacer ’s Choice , it will be interesting to see how the sequel prompt forward in wish to the player ’s action in the first plot . Or it could completely ignore them , too .

The phrase “ New crew ” entail that none of the old mould will deliver in the continuation , at least as political party extremity , but perhaps some will show up as Nonproliferation Center . Many people grew somewhat attached to the gang in the first game and would love to see them come back in some form for this game .

If you enjoyed the committal to writing and timbre of the first game , The Outer Worlds 2looks like a very good stake for more of the same in that regard .

The Outer Worlds 2was subdued until The Game Awards 2024 where it revealed a gameplay trailer . The trailer has the same tone as the first , but focuses more on gameplay and keeps the story under wrap for now .

Gameplay

The gameplay trailer forThe Outer Worlds 2gives us just a taste of what the gameplay will be like , but it appears to stick to what the first game was best at . It is still a FPS with tons of vagabond and melee choice , from optical maser , pistols , and explosive to knives and grenade . One representative of the trailer shows what looks like the Tactical Time Dilation ( TTD ) machinist return when a reference throw a grenade , slows time , and shoots it out of the breeze near enemies .

Elemental weapons or mod also look to be in the game . We see the musician use an gelid scattergun to freeze an enemy and bash them while they ’re stuck in place .

Besides human enemies , a few new aliens are demo off that we will press on some new planets .

IGN secured 11 minute of exclusive gameplay before the June direct of an alpha build of the game . The footage shows a mission through a facility with a comrade named Aza . While initially go for a sneak approach and getting one silent kill with a backstab using a sticker , the enemies spotted the consistency and live on on alert .

During duologue , you still have multiple detailed option , with certain ones lock up behind science . Your main type remains voiceless , leave for a greater range of response .

A new piece of power train found is called the N - Ray Scanner , which , when tire , allows the player to see foe through wall while draining energy . It can also be used in teaser solve to fall out king cables .

Like the first biz , The Outer Worlds 2is not a seamless open world . We see in the gameplay lading between various locations , though they only last a few brief seconds .

Preorder

Again , we ’re likely at least a year off fromThe Outer Worlds 2launching , so there are no preorder details available beyond the promise of it coming to Game Pass . Like all Microsoft first - party studios , which admit Obsidian , The Outer Worlds 2will launch solar day and date on Game Pass , meaning if you are a indorser , you’re able to download the game the moment it fall out at no extra charge .
