Obsidian Entertainment to launch The Outer Worlds upgrade in March

Set in 2355, the events of The Outer Worlds occur in an alternative future where the world is ruled by mega-corporations who transport Earth residents in search of a fresh start to new planets. On one of the ships, a character tagged The Stranger gains higher physical and mental abilities after his ship is lost on the outskirts of a colony. The character, alongside his companions, then uses his newly acquired skills to war against the greed and incompetence of the mega-corporations in charge of humans' colonization of Halcyon in a bid to destroy the establishment.

The Outer Worlds is directed by Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain, while Eris DeMilt and Charles Staples served as producer and designer respectively.

By the way, Obsidian Entertainment announced during E3 2021 that it's working on a The Outer Worlds sequel. However, details have been little and sparse since then and the video game developer still hasn't provided a release date, trailer, and characters for the new title.

The Outer Worlds is not the only title Obsidian Entertainment has been busy with. Grounded, which is being adapted into an animated series, and Pentiment, were released by the studio last year, both to critical acclaim. It's also working on Avowed and has shown interest in a Fallout: New Vegas follow-up.
