A brand new trailer has arrived for The Outer Worlds, Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment's latest sci-fi RPG.
The video gives us a closer look at life in the Halcyon colony, from its bustling communities on Terra 2 to the dangerous frontiers on Monarch. You'll spot exotic wildlife, devastating weapons, and a host of unpredictable characters on your adventure, which should go a little something like this:
"Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. 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."
We first heard that The Outer Worlds was headed to Switch in July, when it was revealed that it'll also be coming to other platforms on 25th October. No release date was confirmed for Switch at the time, and we're still no closer to knowing when it'll arrive now. Hopefully a release date reveal isn't too far away.
Excited for this one? Let us know if you'll be waiting to pick this one up on Switch with a comment below.

Well, as long as we get it eventually, I guess.
I'm curious about the game though I haven't looked at too much about it. Don't want to be too spoiled.
Im leaning towards no
Cool, will grab this on PS4
Switch footage is what I want to see.
This looks great! It’d be awesome if we see this in spring!
Switch version will be 240p at 10fps
this will likely be a first quarter 2020 release I could see it being a late February early March release
Smart move putting this on Switch. I don't mind waiting for the Switch version, plenty to play in the meantime.
Maybe on PS4 or xbox. Next year will be too much of a wait for PC. Hopefully the switch version brings it, but I don't have any faith. Hardware if just getting older and games are and will be more demanding.
i'm looking forward to this one but I'm going to wait for reviews and an idea on its length before I pick a platform. PC is out for me for until is has a wide release, I don't trust Epic yet that my games will still be available in 10 years time all though xbox game pass for PC is looking more and more temping. But if the game is long the only I will see it though is if it is on the switch. So I'll be holding off until things are clearer
Get it on game pass day 1 - happy days. Looking forward to it.
Got gears 5 downloading the now - available 4 days early on game pass
I just Pre-Installed it on my PC Xbox Game Pass account today (with GEARS 5)
If you do the $5 3 months PC Beta deal, it will last you till the release. Even at full price - this and ORi 2 will pay for the year.
So glad they told us it’s coming to Switch before it released. I had it pre-ordered for Xbox One, but immediately cancelled as I will now wait for the Switch version. Tired of buying games on other systems only to double dip later and sell the original copy.
I’ve got games falling out of my ears right now- this game could not release on Switch until holiday 2020 and I would be perfectly OK with that. I’m even having to bench Monster Hunter World expansion, and that’s one of my favorite game series ever.
But that’s because... so is Fire Emblem, so is Platinum Games new IP (and Astral Chain is phenomenal), so is Dragon Quest (and DQXIS demo is A++++, as is DQ Builders 2 for that matter), so is Ni No Kuni, so is Zelda (and Links Awakening looks sooo good), Ori and the Blind Forest is my fave game on the X1. And with Darksiders 2, Darksiders Genesis, Super Monkey Ball, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Pokémon Sword, Daemon X Machina, Spyro, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, DOOM Eternal, Atelier Ryza, Witcher 3, Hat In Time, new Yooka-Laylee, Samurai Showdown, Pillars of Eternity 2, FF Crystal Chronicles, Panzer Dragoon, Alien Isolation with gyro (thank you SEGA!) and that’s not even mentioning Borderlands 3 or Gears 5 (both of which will get backlogged with MH in all honesty) I think I’m set on video games, just from the Nintendo Switch alone, until the end of next year.
Was eagerly awaiting this until I saw the latest trailer. It just seems unpolished. Animations and models, small details, just not quite what I was hoping for.
However, I do have game pass, so considering I can play it free it is better than a kick in the nuts.
I’ve got Gamepass on Xbox, so I’ll play it for free over paying $60 for this on Switch in six months.
There are the people behind Fallout New Vegas and Star Wars KOTOR 2 if I remember right. It makes me very interested in this game.
I don't mind waiting if it means we get a really competent Switch version.
Closest thing Switch is getting to Fallout.
I say the Switch version will be out in the Summer. Just a guess.
May 2020. June at the latest.
@mist I'm hoping they do change character models to cel shaded like BOTW. If not, then yeah, gonna be poops.
@Kalmaro - I pretty much stayed away from all information about the game to. I always like Obsidians games so I knew I would buy it.
