This year’s Xbox Games Showcase finally has a date, and just like the past two years, it will be followed by a separate Direct for a major upcoming title – Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds 2.
Alongside new gameplay, the Direct takes fans inside the studio’s walls, with development team members providing new information and insights. The duration is unknown, and given how wildly the past two Directs for Starfield and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 varied, it’s hard to say.
However, it offers hope that The Outer Worlds 2 will launch this year. Obsidian debuted its latest gameplay trailer at The Game Awards 2024 and touted the sci-fi RPG as being twice as big as the first game. There are new weapons, NPCs, and worlds to explore, and it looks to offer a notable visual jump (with ray traced reflections seemingly supported).
Stay tuned for more details in June. The Outer Worlds 2 is coming to PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
