The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)

[Random Guy Esq.]

Welcome to the future - try not to break it.

The Outer Worlds is a new single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

This isn't really post-apocalyptic though. More of a space-western!

A nice preemptive strike against Starfield too potentially? Sure, we have no idea what kind of tone Bethesda will be going for with that, but I do like the idea that this might steal some of Starfield's thunder, just for mischief's sake.

Oh ffs. Looks like it's going to be exclusive to Epic Games Store.

Interesting though... Having it as part of a subscription service seems to bypass the Epic store's exclusivity deal. At least the consumer has a choice now.
