For the final day of Gamescom, IGN have brought us the first gameplay footage from the upcoming Peril on Gorgon expansion DLC for The Outer Worlds. Narrated by Carrie Patel, it's a brief jaunt on the surface of the Gorgon asteroid, which is apparently infested with marauders driven mad by the Adrena-Time drug that was once manufactured there. The player character, accompanied by companions Parvati and Felix, starts out at the local Sublight outpost, where they meet a woman who is looking for the remains of her husband who was left behind on the asteroid when Spacer's Choice evacuated. We get to see some pretty outdoor visuals, a new science weapon, and the new audio log feature. The level design seems to have a greater emphasis on verticality than the base game, but for the most part it's just more Outer Worlds.



Surely they could have found a better way to showcase the expansion than with this simple fetch quest. Oh well, it's a start I guess.
