We got a fresh look at the upcoming sci-fi RPG when Obsidian Head of Sequels, Mark returned after his starring role in The Outer Worlds 2 Direct earlier this summer. In a trailer featuring new gameplay and a focus on six of the game’s Companion characters, we met: Earth Directorate Agent, Niles; drone healer, V.A.L.E.R.I.E.; bloodthirsty cultist, Aza; field medic Inez; the pistol-toting Marisol; and the Warhammer-wielding Tristan. As the trailer put it – they’ve got guts, they’ve got gear, they’ve got sidequests. 

The Outer Worlds 2 launches October 29, 2025 – and if you can’t wait to see more, the gamescom Xbox booth will include a theater presentation with all-new gameplay. Can’t be there yourself? Check back on Xbox Wire this week for a full rundown of what’s shown.
