IGN have been allowed to publish gameplay footage of the first 20 minutes from The Outer Worlds, which is coming out in less than two weeks. That includes the game's introductory cutscene, in which Dr. Phineas retrieves the player character from his stranded colony ship and deposits him on Terra 2 (you might notice a few familiar scenes from the original announcement trailer here). After a linear tutorial area, the video eventually leads right up to the gameplay segment that was shown at the Tokyo Game Show last month. It turns out that the reason the original captain of your ship is dead is that your landing pod landed right on top of him.


The one thing the video doesn't show is the game's character creation sequence. It looks like Obsidian are absolutely committed to keeping that a surprise.
