You can do that, too!<\/li>\n<li>Recruit a diverse crew with unique traits, backgrounds, and goals, and help them fulfill their dreams or crush them along the way. It is completely up to you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The call to go beyond the stars is here once again, and it\u2019s bigger, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever. We just revealed a first gameplay trailer for <em>The Outer Worlds 2<\/em> during The Game Awards 2024, promising a fresh adventure in a brand-new colony next year. \u00a0No really, we know we\u2019re not supposed to promise things in marketing, but the setting is completely new, so this is all factual. Just don\u2019t break the colony again.

It\u2019s also home of skip drive technology and where the fate of the entire colony \u2013 and the galaxy \u2013 rests. As a daring, undeniably good-looking, and questionably competent Earth Directorate agent, you\u2019re tasked with uncovering the source of devastating rifts threatening the entire galaxy. Talk about stakes (not to be confused with raptidon <em>steaks,<\/em> those are very different)! \u00a0The choice of how to deal with the rifts is up to you. \u201cYour worlds, your way,\u201d as we say at Obsidian.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/TOW2_BROKENKNEES_COMBAT-795ceb33ffc11582c0f3.jpg\" alt=\"The Outer Worlds 2 Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-206192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/TOW2_BROKENKNEES_COMBAT-795ceb33ffc11582c0f3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/TOW2_BROKENKNEES_COMBAT-795ceb33ffc11582c0f3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/TOW2_BROKENKNEES_COMBAT-795ceb33ffc11582c0f3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/TOW2_BROKENKNEES_COMBAT-795ceb33ffc11582c0f3-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Are the rifts the only thing threatening Arcadia? Of course not! That would be too easy. A factional war between the \u201cbenevolent rulers\u201d known as the Protectorate, a rebellious scientific religious order, <em>and <\/em>a corporate mega power has the colony torn apart. Each is trying to close or control the rifts for their own good\/monetarily profitable needs. Church, state, and capitalism! Who will win?! Well, that\u2019s really up to you. This is your game. We\u2019ve said the choices were yours the whole time. See that Obsidian motto above?

Except those who think they are. Look at you go.
