The Outer Worlds 2 Gets New Companion Trailer Ahead of October 29 PS5 Launch

Xbox Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment have unveiled a new companion-focused trailer for The Outer Worlds 2 at Gamescom 2025.

Check out the description:

The Outer Worlds 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Obsidian Entertainment’s award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG (look at all those descriptors!). Clear your schedule and gear up for an action-packed adventure featuring a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! That’s a whole lot of new!

As an agent of the Terran Directorate, use your boldness and charm to uncover the origin of the devastating rifts threatening to destroy humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, the birthplace of slipspace jump drive technology, where the fate of the colony – and the entire galaxy – will be in your hands: your strengths, your weaknesses, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.

Explore a New Frontier

The colony of Arcadia is embroiled in factional warfare as the Protectorate’s supposedly benevolent government is challenged by a rebellion from its own religious order and a corporate invasion. As destructive rifts spread across the colony, each faction seeks to control or seal them for their own ends. Explore diverse zones, uncover hidden secrets, and determine the fate of a system on the brink of collapse!

Command Your Way

Create a character with abilities and choices that reflect your playstyle. The colony reacts to your every action, shaping a unique narrative for you – whether as a diplomatic disciple, strategic mastermind, agent of chaos, or something entirely different. And yes, you can embrace your inner idiot!

Recruit Companions

Recruit companions with distinct traits, backgrounds, and personal goals. Whether you help them achieve their own ambitions or use them to further your objectives, your influence will determine their development (or demise), making them integral parts of the immersive narrative you create together.

The Outer Worlds 2 launches on October 29th for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
