Fresh off their recent acquisition by Microsoft, Obsidian took to the stage at tonight’s The Game Awards to announce they’re working on a new title, and yes, it’s another single-player RPG by the name of The Outer Worlds.
It is basically Borderlands meets Fallout and yes, we want it.

“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.”
It will be coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2019. Yes, PS4 as well.
Obsidian have incredible pedigree when it comes to RPGs, including the likes of Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and South Park: The Stick of Truth. They also made Alpha Protocol, so they can’t all be winners.
