The Outer Worlds 2 Featuring More Action, More Weapons, and More Graphics!

The call to venture beyond the stars has returned, and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever. During The Game Awards 2024, we unveiled the first gameplay trailer for The Outer Worlds 2, promising a fresh adventure in a brand-new colony next year. No, really. The colony is completely new, and that’s a fact. Just, please—don’t break it. Yes, we’re looking at you, Hope-sun-launchers.
True to Obsidian Entertainment’s signature style, The Outer Worlds 2 lets you carve your path through Arcadia, a colony brimming with factions, intrigue, and chaos. This is the birthplace of skip-drive technology and the battleground where the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. As a daring, undeniably good-looking, and maybe-questionably-competent Earth Directorate agent, you’re tasked with uncovering the source of catastrophic rifts threatening everything. No pressure. How you handle these rifts? That’s entirely up to you—“Your worlds, your way,” after all.


Explore a New Frontier

• 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. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction fights to control or close them for their own ends. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!

Your Commander, Your Way
• Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own—whether you’re a disciple of diplomacy, an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether. And yes, you can dumb!

Enlist Your Companions
• Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death), making them an integral part of the immersive story you create together.


Wishlist the game today and stay tuned for more updates on The Outer Worlds 2—we can’t wait to share what’s next with you. The galaxy is yours to explore; the only question is, how will you shape it? The Outer Worlds 2 will be released in 2025.
