More story content is on the way to Obsidian Entertainment‘s The Outer Worlds 2. The very first DLC for the game will begin with part one releasing on December 2, 2026, and part 2 to come in the Spring of 2027. Side Effects Guaranteed includes a brand new story, songs, weapons, and a new region.
The Outer Worlds 2 DLC — Side Effects Guaranteed
The Outer Worlds 2 was released in October 2025, and Side Effects Guaranteed will be the first DLC for the game. In Side Effects Guaranteed, a crew is exposed to something that can kill them, and the player decides whether to save them or kill the scientist who can. The story takes place in the new region Elysium Valley.
Players who have reached the point of no return in the game can start the DLC directly when released. This loads in a pre-made level 27 character without erasing the previous progress or restarting. The DLC release also comes with respec ability and a custom game option to adjust skill points per level.
There will be five new weapons including the Immobilizer, a 1/6 Resolver, a Tossball Stick, and new plasma weapon.
Downloads will come automatically to those with the Premium Edition or Premium Edition Upgrade.
