The Outer Worlds – Official Announcement

Coming 2019

Watch the official announcement trailer for The Outer Worlds, a new single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division.

In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. 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.

 

As more details comes out, they have confirmed this game will be less TES/Fallout style open world RPG and more hub-based Kotor style RPG. It's also being said it'll be around 15 hours long. A tiny bit disappointing if I'm honest because we are really lacking good open world RPGs. However, I'm still excited because Kotor 1 and 2 were and still are fantastic, if they can recapture that, the game should still be very fun.
