The Outer Worlds to get story DLC in 2020

The Outer Worlds is an upcoming first-person role-playing game (RPG) from Obsidian Entertainment. Despite the fact that the team is now a part of Xbox Game Studios, this game is available on PlayStation 4 — and will be coming to Nintendo Switch down the line.

Today, on Obsidian Entertainment’s forums, the team thanked everyone for their support during The Game Awards 2019. However, the story of The Outer Worlds isn’t over yet. Shyla, the Social Media Manager, confirmed that story add-ons (DLC) were on the way in 2020. You can read an abridged version of the post below.

We want to take this opportunity to thank the incredible team behind The Outer Worlds. It is because of their hard work and dedication to this project that we received the Best Narrative, Best Performance – Ashly Burch, Best RPG, and Game of the Year nominations at The Game Awards… To all of those who voted for us in The Game Awards, you are all fantastic and we are so grateful for your support. The reception to The Outer Worlds has been unbelievable to see, and even just being nominated means a lot. However, the journey isn’t over yet as we are excited to announce that we will be expanding the story through DLC next year! Details will be made available at a later date.

It’s great to see that the game is getting new DLC in 2020. We can’t wait to see where Obsidian takes the adventure next. Maybe some romance DLC will be available too. One can hope!

In Windows Central’s review, Jez Corden wrote, “The Outer Worlds is a tremendous RPG that feels like the culmination of Obsidian’s efforts with similar franchises over the years. As a fan of classic Bioware and Bethesda RPGs, The Outer Worlds not only scratches the itch, but exceeds the legacy of the titles it draws inspiration from in some ways.”
