New details have emerged about Obsidian Entertainment's Outer Worlds 2, specifically about a dozen of the different skills available to player characters. Outer Worlds 2 is set to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 29, 2025, almost six years after the release of the original game.
With the potential for Outer Worlds 2 improving on the flaws of its predecessor, the upcoming RPG is looking to make a major impact when it releases later in 2025. However, the fact that it is the first confirmed Xbox-published game to launch at a higher $80 USD price point could also hamper its reception. It'll be up to Microsoft and Obsidian to promote the game effectively in the run-up to release, making sure that players know that Outer Worlds 2 will truly warrant the increased cost (or at least the price of a subscription to Game Pass).
Obsidian shows how it evolved the combat systems of its sci-fi RPG with a first look at The Outer Worlds 2 combat and weapons.
One part of that promotional strategy was a dedicated showcase presentation released on June 9, which gave players more to get excited about ahead...
