For years, we begged Bethesda to just give us another New Vegas. Fallout 4 wasn't it. 76 definitely wasn't it. So Obsidian rolled up its sleeves and said "screw it, we'll do it ourselves." It's fitting, too, because Obsidian ...

Obsidian traded one wasteland for another, from the post-nuclear apocalypse to the intergalactic mess caused by mega-corporate mega-greed. Truth be told, Obsidian has never really had trouble diversifying. Obsidian has pulled out the best i...

The Outer Worlds is a fantastic late-2019 bloomer for multiple reasons. One, we finally got the Fallout game we've been waiting for since New Vegas. Two, it was accessible as hell thanks to the Xbox Game Pass system, putting it in...

If you aren't ready to leave Parvati and [your second-favorite companion] behind, heads up: Obsidian is working on DLC for The Outer Worlds – the good kind, I mean. The story-centric kind. "To all of those who voted for us in The Game...

The Outer Worlds and Death Stranding are two games I'm very into right now, but they both contain lots of little words that can be a struggle to make out. I can't imagine what it's been like for folks playing on a responsible-human-sized TV...

So Obsidian was acquired by Microsoft in late 2018, but they had obligations to meet and a multiplatform game to ship. I'm naturally talking about The Outer Worlds, which ended up fantastically out-Fallouting recent Fallout entries, launchi...

Obsidian isn't sure about the future of Pillars of Eternity. After the sequel failed to live up to the lofty expectations set by the original, Obsidian is left to believe that major structural changes are necessary if a third game is to be ...

While The Outer Worlds arrived last month on PC, PS4 and Xbox One (including a Game Pass launch), the Switch version was said to be coming "later" at some point. When later?! Well, some originally assumed that by the end of 2019 would ...

Dreezy is live this week once again on the Destructoid Twitch channel with this week's community in the form of F.E.A.R. and some new releases throughout the week such as The Outer Worlds and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare! But, as always, we...

Before this past weekend we knew that Outer Worlds was coming to Switch at some point, but now we have a more definitive release window due to a launch press release (thanks to my colleague that pointed this out!). Here's the line in full: ...

For the uninitiated, when publishers wanted a sure-thing studio to come in and elevate an existing IP, Obsidian was the one developer you called. They rocked The Old Republic for BioWare and continued the Neverwinter Nights series. Look, th...

My eyes insisted on staying extra shut this morning, and the culprit is clear: The Outer Worlds. I traded away a good night's rest in order to comb through the opening planet in Obsidian's just-launched Fallout-as-hell RPG, a choice I suspe...

I've really gotten used to new-school game design. Whenever I play a lengthy RPG, my mind immediately goes to "I need to find the bank so I can store all of these cool items." I went through around 15 hours of The Outer Worlds before f...

Obsidian Entertainment has released the PC specs for their galaxy-hopping RPG The Outer Worlds, which will launch later this week, bringing new planets, civilisations and technology to PC and consoles. For a modern PC release, The Outer Wor...

I hope you have your rocketship packed and your ray-guns charged and ready, as we are less than a week away from the launch of Obsidian Entertainment's intergalactic RPG The Outer Worlds. In order to get fans hyped in this final stretch, th...

We're only a week out from Obsidian's new RPG The Outer Worlds, but in the meantime, Fallout: New Vegas is calling my name. It's joining the Xbox Game Pass catalog today, and honestly, one little run across the desert couldn't hurt. I wonde...

Console players might be left waiting a little longer before they're unleashed to start colony-saving and galaxy-exploring. Obsidian Entertainment informs us that The Outer Worlds has a pretty hefty day-one patch. Those who buy physica...

[Update: Private Division has now clarified that The Outer Wilds is "enhanced for both Xbox One X and PS4 Pro." Specifically, the game "includes 4K textures and resolution on Xbox One X and PC, and upsamples to 4K from 1440p on PS4 Pro." Th...

The Outer Worlds is a deep and flexible role-playing game -- not unlike Fallout: New Vegas, you might say -- and that means it has a robust character creation tool. We're 10 days away from the launch of The Outer Worlds, and developer...

We're less than two months out from the release of Obsidian's latest RPG The Outer Worlds and to continue building hype towards launch, a trailer highlighting locales and weapons has been released. Sprinkled throughout the trailer are bits...

Obsidian's The Outer Worlds is less than three months from launch which means that it's really time to ramp up the marketing efforts. Part of that is a new look at the, uhh, worlds of Outer Worlds. We've got nine new screenshots in the...

Obsidian's next role-playing game, The Outer Worlds, is all about exploring unknown and unexpected places. Now, in a meta-twist of sorts, it's ending up somewhere very unexpected. Publisher Private Division and Obsidian have announced that...

The setting for Obsidian's upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds is one wrought with political turmoil, but the studio is asserting that the game is more humorous than politically-charged. In a recent interview with Video Games Chronicle, the game'...

[Update: As it turns out, the delisting for Alpha Protocol wasn't because of Sega losing publishing rights, but due to a music license. As is the case with most digital removals, Sega did not renew its contract for the song "Turn Up The Rad...

I couldn't shake a fascinating thought as I left the E3 press demo for The Outer Worlds: Obsidian Entertainment quite obviously put together a chunk of gameplay to draw comparisons to Fallout: New Vegas. Why? To prove someone can still make...
