The Outer Worlds 2 Shows Off All Companions

At Opening Night Live, The Outer Worlds 2 made an appearance with a trailer introducing six new characters that players will be interacting with. Although Microsoft and Gamescom had previously announced The Outer Worlds 2’s presence, there was still much excitement surrounding the title. The original game was a well-crafted first-person RPG, and while the sequel appears to offer more expansive features, fans can anticipate that it will continue to value their time as well.

As a fellow gaming enthusiast diving into the new frontier, let me share some excitement about The Outer Worlds 2! Instead of continuing the tale in Halcyon, we’re setting off to explore the unknown territory of Arcadia – a fresh story, fresh faces, and a fresh protagonist for us to embody. Our mission is to unravel mysteries lurking in time-space rifts as agents of the Earth Directorate.

However, it’s not just our adventure that’s heating up – Arcadia is smack dab in the middle of a conflict between two powerful entities: the Protectorate and Auntie’s Choice. One is a tyrannical government, while the other is a megacorporation. And guess where we find ourselves? Right in the thick of it all!

So buckle up, gamers, because this thrilling journey unfolds on stage at Gamescom Opening Night Live – I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for us in Arcadia!

Among the new characters unveiled in the Gamescom trailer are Niles, Tristan, Valerie, Aza, Inez, and Marisol – each bringing their unique flavors to the game. We get a glimpse into what they embody, while also catching a peek at their distinct personalities. In a charming twist, the trailer hints that none of these fascinating companions are romanceable. Niles is an Earth Directorate Agent, Valerie is an automech support drone, and Marisol is an assassin, proving handy in corporate conflicts. Aza is a cultist, Inez is a combat medic who’s been experimented on by Auntie’s Choice, and Tristan is a Protector arbiter – judge, jury, and executioner. This group may be diverse, but isn’t that just the way it should be?

Although some might perceive this self-deprecation as a jest at their expense, it’s important to note that numerous gamers frequently inquire about romantic possibilities with companions in Obsidian games. Traditionally, the answer has always been that these elements are not included. Romance is a commonly appreciated feature in RPGs, but one that Obsidian has never adopted. Instead, it seems more like a playful commentary on the circumstance rather than an expression of desire.

In essence, “The Outer Worlds 2” will launch as a day-one title on Xbox Game Pass upon its release on October 29, and it will also be playable on PlayStation 5 consoles. This makes it Obsidian Entertainment’s third game release of the year, following “Avowed” and the early access launch of “Grounded 2”. Given that many consider Obsidian Entertainment a strong force for Microsoft, the success of “The Outer Worlds 2” would certainly explain this perception.
