Wow, this is a surprise! After more than three years since its tongue-in-cheek announcement trailer, The Outer Worlds 2 has resurfaced, and it’s coming to Xbox Game Pass much sooner than we anticipated.

You’ll be playing this spacefaring sequel on Xbox next year, as Obsidian doesn’t seem to be slowing down with its conveyor belt of first-party releases. We don’t know when The Outer Worlds 2 is coming beyond just ‘2025’, but the fact that this game is so close is great news all round.

“The Outer Worlds 2 is the sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. Get ready for an action-packed adventure in a new colony with an even newer crew and the newest graphics! Coming in 2025.”
