As expected at this year’s Game Awards 2018 event, Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division have unveiled their next games project in the form of The Outer Worlds, a new single-player first-person sci-fi role-playing game.
Announcement and Gameplay
Check out the announcement trailer for The Outer Worlds, for a taste of what you can expect from the storyline, characters, and gameplay of the new single-player game from Obsidian.
“In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.”
Game Features and Mechanics
The Outer Worlds promises a rich and immersive experience, combining elements of classic RPGs with modern gameplay mechanics. Players will have the freedom to shape their character’s abilities and personality through a detailed character creation system. This includes a variety of skills, perks, and attributes that can be customized to fit different playstyles, whether you prefer combat, stealth, or diplomacy.
One of the standout features of The Outer Worlds is its branching narrative. The choices you make will have significant consequences on the game’s world and its inhabitants. This means that your decisions can lead to multiple endings, encouraging replayability and offering a unique experience for each playthrough. The game also boasts a companion system, where you can recruit various characters to join your journey. Each companion has their own backstory, skills, and quests, adding depth to the overall narrative.
The game’s setting, Halcyon, is a visually stunning and diverse environment. From lush alien landscapes to industrial colonies, the art direction and world-building are designed to captivate players and immerse them in the sci-fi universe. The developers have also emphasized the importance of humor and satire in the game, drawing comparisons to titles like Fallout: New Vegas, which Obsidian also developed.
As more information is released for The Outer Worlds, including a confirmed launch date, we will keep you up to speed as always. The anticipation for this game is high, and fans of the RPG genre are eagerly awaiting its release. With its compelling storyline, intricate character development, and expansive world, The Outer Worlds is shaping up to be a must-play title.
