The Outer Worlds 2<\/u><\/a> is almost here, aiming to not just be bigger than its predecessor but a better RPG in every respect when it releases on October 29 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. <\/p>\n

We think Obsidian’s sci-fi sequel is one of this fall’s most slept-on games<\/u><\/a>, possibly due to a bumpy start after The Outer Worlds 2 was initially touted as Microsoft’s first $80 game<\/u><\/a>. The publisher U-turned on the decision just a month later<\/u><\/a>, however, saying it was keeping the price at $69.99 “in line with current market conditions.”<\/p>\n

We had a great time with The Outer Worlds 2 when we previewed it back in August<\/u><\/a>, writing: “If it\u2019s not clear by now, I\u2019m really into what Obsidian is doing with The Outer Worlds 2. While I appreciated Obsidian\u2019s prior attempt at this universe, I never totally fell for it, but what the studio has achieved here in this prologue is exactly what I\u2019d hoped for the first time around. And that\u2019s exactly why I\u2019m willing to bet that The Outer Worlds 2 will be one of those sequels. The ones that finally take an idea all the way to greatness.”<\/p>\n
