Game features

Explore a new frontier

The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!

At sunset, a futuristic city shines dimly on the edge of a jungle and rocky mountaintops.

Your commander, your way

Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your moves, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own—whether you’re an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether.

Holding a lava-powered weapon, the protagonist backs away from an enemy in an industrial zone.

Enlist your companions

Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death).

From a first-person perspective, the protagonist loads their firearm while approaching the entryway to the Skip Drive Diagnostic Laboratories.

Game details

The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!). Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!

As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.
