The Outer Worlds 2's First Gameplay Trailer Debuts During The Game Awards

Obsidian Entertainment released a new trailer for The Outer Worlds 2 during The Game Awards, reminding us that the studio is actually releasing two big RPGs next year (the other being Avowed). Why are you doing this, Obsidian? I only have so many hours in the year to play big choice-driven story-focused RPGs.

The trailer reiterated that The Outer Worlds 2, much like its predecessor, focuses on player choice, allowing you a ton of agency in terms of how you approach individual problems and in how you determine which elements of the story you pursue.

"As a daring, undeniably good-looking, and questionably competent Earth Directorate agent, you're tasked with uncovering the source of devastating rifts threatening the entire galaxy," says an Obsidian Entertainment blog post. "The choice of how to deal with the rifts is up to you. 'Your worlds, your way,' as we say at Obsidian."
