We’re set for our first meaty look at The Outer Worlds 2 on June 8—courtesy of a Direct Showcase. We don’t know how long it will last, but it’s confirmed that the presentation will lift the lid on much of Obsidian’s sci-fi sequel.
The Outer Worlds was one of my favorite games of 2019. It included a lot of what I love about Fallout, but added its own shine and humor in a refreshing way! The Outer Worlds 2 being announced at The Game Awards 2024 was a pleasant surprise, and it had to come with a funny trailer reminding us all what it’s about.
Obsidian has been quiet about The Outer Worlds 2 ever since. Its development, release, and support of Avowed likely had a lot to do with this. The Outer Worlds 2 Direct signals full-steam ahead for the successor.
Xbox Games Showcase Will Immediately be Followed by The Outer Worlds 2 Direct

The Xbox Games Showcase 2025 takes place on June 8. Soon after it finishes, we jump straight into The Outer Worlds 2 Direct.
An Xbox Wire newsletter said this on April 9: “Immediately following [Xbox Games] Showcase, The Outer Worlds 2 Direct will bring you inside the walls of Obsidian Entertainment, revealing new gameplay, details, and developer insights, straight from the people making the sequel to the award-winning, first-person sci-fi RPG.
You can catch all the action through Xbox’s many channels, including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and much more.
With a distinct absence of new Fallout video games, The Outer Worlds 2 has a chance to plug a space-sized hole. Share your favorite memories and stories of The Outer Worlds below.

No news on Double Fine’s new game, Everwild, State Of Decay 3, Contraband, Quake, Wolfenstein 3, and the Wu Tang game? They should publish Deus Ex game and pay to bring Itagaki back to Dead Or Alive full tits.
Another flop for Obsidian. Microsoft just buy Take Two Interactive already!
