The Outer Worlds 2 release date set for 29 October, shows more gameplay

Check it out.

The Outer Worlds 2 release date has been set for 29 October, Microsoft today revealed alongside a new gameplay trailer.

“Cut off from Earth, Arcadia is a colony cracking under pressure, torn apart by space-time rifts, shifting alliances, and three power-hungry factions locked in a war for control. It’s louder, riskier, and more unpredictable than anything the Halcyon system ever threw at you,” Microsoft said of the sequel.

“You’ve been sent in as an Earth Directorate agent, but how you handle the mission – who you help, hinder, or exploit – is entirely your call. Build your character with expanded traits, flaws, and backgrounds that shape every decision and unlock new ways to fight, sneak, talk, or blow things up.”

In addition to the game’s release date, Microsoft and Obsidian also detailed pre-order bonuses.

“All pre-orders include the Commander Zane Pack which comes with Commander Zane-theme armor skin, helmet, signature pistol and dagger, and an Earth Directorate drone companion pet,” the pair said.

Expect The Outer Worlds 2 from 29 October on Windows PC via Steam and Battle.net, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5. It’s also available via Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere.
