The Outer Worlds 2 - Gameplay trailer shows new world, new weapons, but also the old flair

Obsidian Entertainment's new gameplay trailer is the first detailed look at The Outer Worlds 2, a sci-fi role-playing game that takes you into a new star system with more freedom, fresh humour and an overhauled combat system.

Arcadia takes centre stage

The Outer Worlds 2 takes place on the colony of Arcadia. There, mysterious space-time rifts threaten the stability of the world - and as is so often the case, it is up to the main character to somehow get the whole thing under control. Players slip into the role of an agent of the Earth Directorate, who must investigate the causes and mediate between rival factions.

The trailer shows real game scenes for the first time: fast-paced firefights, new weapons with special effects, companions with their own abilities and a whole host of options for how to fight or interact with the world.

And best of all - The Outer Worlds 2 now has an official release date: The Sci-Fi RPG Sequel from Obsidian will be released on October 29th and can now be pre-ordered* on Gamesplanet as a Microsoft key with a 10% discount (compatible with Windows and Xbox Series S|X).
