An 11-minute gameplay trailer for The Outer Worlds 2 published by IGN shows the completion of a quest to infiltrate a research complex captured by cultists.

On the mission, the protagonist is accompanied by an ex-sectarian named Aza. The hero manages to participate in open combat and stealth, and also gets a scanner that allows him to distinguish invisible enemies and see through walls.

IGN reports that The Outer Worlds 2 will be a deeper RPG than The Outer Worlds, with Obsidian looking to its past work (Fallout: New Vegas) and immersive sims like Deus Ex and Dishonored for guidance.

They promise full-fledged stealth (with silent finishing moves, enemy corpses being detected), effective melee weapons, improved shooting (with an eye on Destiny), new movement options and throwables.

The Outer Worlds 2 takes place in a new star system with a different team. As an agent of the Earth Board, players must get to the bottom of the destructive rifts in the Arcadia colony and save the galaxy.

The Outer Worlds 2 is coming in 2025 to PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and Game Pass. Throughout April, IGN will be sharing exclusive content, including developer interviews and insights into key mechanics.
