The Outer Worlds 2 launches October 29, 2025—pre-order now and explore Arcadia your way.

---

Cut off from Earth, you arrive as an Earth Directorate agent with a mission. How you carry it out—who you help, hinder, or exploit—is up to you. Build your character with dynamic traits, flaws, and backgrounds that shape every decision and unlock new ways to fight, sneak, persuade, or just blow things up.

Arcadia isn’t just bigger. It’s meaner, messier, and more reactive. And the only thing standing between it and collapse? You. Probably.

---

Three factions dominate Arcadia, each with wildly different visions for humanity’s future:

• The Protectorate: A military regime powered by endless resources that believes people are happiest when they don’t have to think for themselves. Order is peace. Obedience is comfort. Truly loved by all loyal citizens -- just ask them.

• Auntie’s Choice: The loud, smiling merger of Auntie Cleo’s and Spacer’s Choice. They promise freedom, fulfillment, and a future where your only real choice is which Auntie’s product you’ll need next.

• The Order of the Ascendant: Rogue scientists turned faith-based futurists, determined to perfect humanity by solving the Universal Equation. They worship patterns, predict the future through math, and perform rituals in labs with terrifying precision all in service of a better tomorrow.

Factions clash in real-time. Towns change hands. Radio stations shift tone. Your choices ripple across Arcadia—and thanks to its ever-present radio system, you won’t just hear the news. You are the news. Folk hero or public enemy? Depends on who's spinning it (and selling you a health tonic).

---

RPG systems have been reimagined with more freedom and flavor. Traits and flaws evolve based on your playstyle—steal enough and you might become a Kleptomaniac, boosting loot sales but risking “accidental” theft just by looking.

Science weapons return, including the Shrink Ray, now with the added bonus of letting you stomp your enemies once bite-sized. Also, yes: there’s a wearable suit made from something that used to be alive. His name is Gary.

Movement and combat feel better across the board. Dash, leap, and parkour your way through the chao, or swap to third person and enjoy the view.

---

Travel with six companions, each with a stake in Arcadia’s future, and opinions about your decisions. One might plead for mercy, another might suggest vaporizing a town. Sacrifice a companion to survive and you’ll hear about it. On the radio. From the faction you betrayed.

Your crew includes:

• Niles: Another Earth Directorate recruit torn between duty and defection.

• Inez: A former experiment from Auntie’s Choice with a grafted combat edge and a moral core.

• Aza: A chaos-loving Rift worshipper with a taste for violence and room to grow—maybe.

• Marisol: A stoic killer from the Order of the Ascendant with calculations to settle.

• Tristen: A walking tank and judge from the Protectorate, looking to dispense justice -- or redefine it.

• Valerie: A floating, chirping support unit with unexpected upgrades and untapped potential.

Arcadia may be falling apart—but there’s never been a better time to show up, suit up, and sign up for something you probably won’t regret.

Probably.

The call to venture beyond the stars has returned, and this time, it’s bigger, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever. During The Game Awards 2024, we unveiled the first gameplay trailer for The Outer Worlds 2, promising a fresh adventure in a brand-new colony next year. No, really. The colony is completely new, and that’s a fact. Just, please—don’t break it. Yes, we’re looking at you, Hope-sun-launchers.
True to Obsidian Entertainment’s signature style, The Outer Worlds 2 lets you carve your path through Arcadia, a colony brimming with factions, intrigue, and chaos. This is the birthplace of skip-drive technology and the battleground where the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. As a daring, undeniably good-looking, and maybe-questionably-competent Earth Directorate agent, you’re tasked with uncovering the source of catastrophic rifts threatening everything. No pressure. How you handle these rifts? That’s entirely up to you—“Your worlds, your way,” after all.


Explore a New Frontier

• The Arcadia colony is engulfed in a factional war, as the Protectorate’s so-called benevolent rule is challenged by the rebellion of their religious order and a corporate invasion. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction fights to control or close them for their own ends. Navigate diverse zones, uncover hidden lore, and shape the fate of a system on the brink!

Your Commander, Your Way
• Build your character with the abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every move, crafting a narrative that’s yours to own—whether you’re a disciple of diplomacy, an astute strategist, a crusader for chaos, or something different altogether. And yes, you can dumb!

Enlist Your Companions
• Recruit companions with unique traits, backgrounds and goals. Whether you choose to help them achieve their ambitions or steer them toward your own objectives, your influence shapes their growth (or death), making them an integral part of the immersive story you create together.
