The Outer Worlds 2

About the game

Set in the Arcadia colony, The Outer Worlds 2 places the player in a factional war: the Protectorate's rule is contested by the rebellion of its religious order and an invasion from outside. Destructive rifts spread through the colony, and every faction seeks to control or close them for its own ends. The player is an Earth Directorate agent who must find the source of the rifts threatening all of humanity, and the investigation brings the agent to Arcadia, where skip drive technology emerged. The fate of the colony and the galaxy depends on the player's decisions. Characters are built from abilities and choices that reflect a playstyle, and the colony reacts to every action. Companions come with their own backgrounds, traits and goals, and the player's influence shapes their growth or death. This first-person RPG from Obsidian Entertainment continues the first game.
