From the renowned RPG developer, Obsidian Entertainment, comes The
Outer Worlds, a dark and witty player-driven story set in a
colony at the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As the cold, firm grasp of
corporate bureaucracy starts to unravel due to one unknown visitor – you
– the character that you decide to become – will determine how the story
unfolds. Your choices will affect the way the story develops, as well as
your character progression, companion stories, and endgame scenarios.
“When I found myself contractually obligated to work with Leonard, we
decided to make the game we always wanted,” said Tim Cain, Co-Game
Director at Obsidian. “A game where player agency matters, and allows
you to approach any situation however you’d like. Because it’s your
story. And, because we haven’t figured out how to contractually
oblige you to play how we want you to. Yet.”
The Outer Worlds presents you with a variety of
options to play through the game. With an array of ranged and melee
sci-fi weaponry at your disposal, you can also solve issues with good,
old-fashioned spoken diplomacy, or even leadership-driven delegation to
your companions.
“All kidding aside,” said Leonard Boyarsky, Co-Game Director at
Obsidian, “Tim is truly honored to be working with me again on a game
that focuses not only on a player-driven story, but also on establishing
a new universe that is fun for players to explore with depth, humor, and
corporate approved action.”
“Obsidian has such a great history when it comes to creating exceptional
single-player RPGs,” said Allen Murray, Vice President of Production. “The
Outer Worlds is unmistakably an Obsidian game, delivering an
experience rich with dark humor, interesting characters, and plenty of
player agency.”
