The Outer Worlds launch trailer exhibits Obsidian’s foolish sci-fi world

Obsidian Entertainment are blasting off to The Outer Worlds, and prematurely zlorped their launch trailer out. The new first-person RPG from the gang behind Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars Of Eternity explores a foolish sci-fi world of aliens and moonmen, putting a tone I’d crudely say appears to me like ‘New Vegas in space with Borderlands wackiness’. You will tut at me, and doubtless be appropriate to, then go “Ah no, I get it” after watching the trailer beneath.

“I can’t, hand on heart, say the broad strokes of The Outer Wilds are original,” our Alice Bee reported again after she played a preview version. “It’s quite an old-school style of RPG – but it’s one made with modern polish and, crucially, no one else is doing it or has done it for a while now. So yes. Good. Keep doing that.”

The Outer Worlds is because of launch at midnight subsequent Friday, October 25th. Timezone magic means it’s really out Thursday evening for Americans. It’ll price £50 on the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store, although it’ll even be lined by the Xbox Game Pass subscription doodad. While Obsidian are owned by Microsoft lately, that is revealed by Take-Two’s Private Division.

Don’t confuse The Outer Worlds with Outer Wilds, although god is aware of I’ve typed Outer Wilds a half-dozen occasions whereas penning this publish. No, Outer Wilds is the 2019 area game about exploring a time loop in a collapsing photo voltaic system. It’s actually superb, our Outer Wilds review will inform you. It even has a planet breaking apart piece-by-piece – now that’s spectacle.
