Outer Wilds was announced for Switch in February with a release date window of "Summer", and since we've only got about 20 days left, it's-- sorry, what? Outer WORLDS? Oh. Right.
The Outer WORLDS, not to be confused with the other game about space, is already out on Nintendo Switch, and soon, Switch players will be able to get their hands on the second DLC, Murder on Eridanos.
In the DLC, your protagonist will be tasked with investigating the murder of an actress, Halcyon Helen, on the planet of Eridanos. As soon as you unlock the landing pad at Stellar Bay on Monarch, you'll be able to access the quest.
As well as the new story, the DLC also adds new characters, armour, perks, flaws, and weapons, as well as a raised level cap of 36. The new weapons, for the record, include a wrench that magnetises enemies, several hammers, and a couple of axes; the armour includes some fancy hats, a baseball outfit, and a concierge's uniform.
The Murder on Eridanos DLC will be available on Nintendo Switch on the 8th of September for $14.99. The first DLC, Peril on Gorgon, came out earlier this year.

How is this on Switch? I enjoyed it enough on PS4 that having it portable for different play styles would be fun.
@TaterSlap69 it's blurry, but definitely playable. I enjoyed it.
There's also some kind of update now - does it replace some files after installed? Because otherwise, as someone who has yet to invest in the DLC (despite generally planning to at some point), I'm not excited to make room for its apparent borderline 6 Gb. And while the game is on Home screen, Switch occasionally tries to run the download by default... almost depleting internal storage in the process.😅
@TaterSlap69 much better than the fandom tends to describe it...as has frankly been the case with a lot of Switch ports in my experience. Compromises were certainly made, but I have yet to encounter anything that would impede the enjoyment.
@TaterSlap69 It's a really good game, also on Switch. It's not a goood-looking game as it was on the PS4, and sometime jus it looks a bit like a PS2 game (well... a good-looking PS2 game at least). But yeah, it's the same game, just a little uglier.
@TaterSlap69 ill chime in as well and say I enjoy it a lot. I would say there's really not much advantage over the switch version on other consoles. PC is a different story but I have it on xbox series s and yes it loads faster and looks better but its still 30 fps there. I kinda want all 3 myself if im going to a more powerful system.
@TaterSlap69 it's much better now after patches then when it first released. I like it a lot!
Thank you all for your comments! It goes on sale quite a bit so I'll keep an eye on the eShop.
❗My favourite Switch Game FINALLY gets the last bit of DLC.
Me and my levelled-up characters have been waiting for this for AGES!
I really enjoyed this game on Switch. I know it’s not as pretty as the other versions, but portability is high on my priority list. Glad to see the remaining DLC will be out soon.
