Now that Microsoft has spent a hell of a lot in acquiring various and varied firms, it intends to let the whole world know by shouting it out loud. And that’s normal, especially when spending, for example, 7.5 billion dollars to buy Bethesda. In the voracious appetite of the American giant, we could also see Obsidian Entertainment being swallowed: as a result, the Redmond firm then recovers certain brands including The Outer Worlds. And many hopes are based on this franchise, which has only one episode to its credit, released in October 2019.
“We’ll be a part of the franchise and whatever the future has in store for it. So we’re very confident. We believe that the audience continues to grow and that the game itself still has a lot of life ahead of it, and we let’s see what the future holds for it. But we think it’s a long-term franchise and it’s definitely something we’re happy to see given the results. “
An ideal scenario visibly shared by Microsoft: Private Division told Gematsu that the company would now be the main publisher for all future games in the saga. A transfer of power assumed: “we are absolutely delighted to see where this will go “, says the Take-Two subsidiary. For the moment, it continues to edit the current projects of the first opus, namely the “Murder on Eridanos” DLC for the Switch version. But in the future, Microsoft will definitely be the responsibility of The Outer Worlds.
Karl Slatoff, CEO of Take-Two and therefore of Private Division, the publisher of the first part, spoke on the subject at a quarterly earnings conference :
