From my understanding of Greek myths, you’re not speculated to look straight at a Gorgon. That doesn’t appear to be how The Outer Worlds‘ tales work, then, because there’s a bloody asteroid of the identical identify that’s crawling with baddies. Arriving this September, Peril On Gorgon brings in a complete new world stuffed with conspiracies, subterfuge and good ol’ normal gunfights in The Outer Worlds’ first correct piece of story DLC.
Styling itself as a golden age thriller, at present’s trailer kinda has one hell of an “early Futurama” bent to it. Good information, everybody: it’s extra The Outer Worlds.
Peril On Gorgon takes place, predictably, on Gorgon – a brand new asteroid base that some may say is in a dangerous predicament. The former analysis outfit is now overrun with monsters, mercenaries and diverse nasties, and also you’ll be tasked with untangling a noir-themed net of conspiracies round a supposed miracle drug, Adrena-Time. Naturally, there’ll be a complete heap of latest loot to select up, armour to don, weapons to loot and lore to brush up on.
The Outer Worlds was fairly good, and extra of that’s fairly good. Then once more, Alice Bee felt the bottom game was a bit too comfy in her The Outer Worlds review: “The Outer Worlds is alright, innit. It’s good fun. Sit back and let the orange and neon wash over you. Boo the cartoonishly evil corporations. But you can tell it could have been great, if it had taken a few more risks.” Hopefully, Peril On Gorgon can begin to steer this spaceship in a braver course.
Obsidian reckon this’ll be the primary of two narrative-focussed DLC drops coming to The Outer Worlds, with full deets on the second scheduled to reach “at a later date”. Peril On Gorgon arrives on September ninth for £11.99, with a 10% low cost for Game Pass subscribers.
