Obsidian Entertainment and Microsoft have released a trailer featuring press reviews for The Outer Worlds 2, highlighting the game's success through quotes and high scores from numerous international publications.
The video is timed to coincide with the official release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass, and alternates between dynamic gameplay moments and picturesque panoramas of the Arcadia system, emphasizing the positive reception from critics and players.
Players will take on the role of an agent investigating spatial rifts threatening human colonies. The player's choices, from skill upgrades and team support to alliances with various factions, will determine the fate of the entire galaxy. The Outer Worlds 2 retains its signature style: social satire, sharp dialogues, and moral dilemmas that genuinely affect the plot.
From a gameplay perspective, it's a hybrid of a role-playing game and a first-person shooter, complemented by deep progression, missions that can be completed in various ways (direct combat, stealth, persuasion, or hacking), and an extensive customization system.
