With Grounded and Avowed on the horizon, what we least expected was that Obsidian would present at E3 2021 the sequel to The Outer Worlds, its great science fiction RPG, but here we are, already imagining the madness that the authors of Fallout New Vegas in The Outer Worlds 2 that remains a complete mystery, but that makes it clear that humor will be key in the story of this role-playing adventure.

Beloved RPG authors such as Pillars of Eternity or Fallout: New Vegas, Obsidian always expect the best and we always do it with enthusiasm, so you can get an idea of ​​the joy that gave us to see the studio at E3 2021 presenting a new game. It was not what we imagined, we almost took it for granted that they would show that enigmatic Avowed presented just a year ago, but no; the surprise was to discover that The Outer Worlds 2 is real. Its news? We hardly have any data on this new role-playing and science fiction adventure, but if something from its trailer makes it clear to us, it is that humor is going to be the protagonist of this voyage through the stars starring a new crew.
