The Peril on Gorgon expansion DLC for The Outer Worlds is out today, over ten months after the release of the original game. That's lot of time for what appears to be a largely more-of-the-same expansion. Some critics have argued that popular opinion of The Outer Worlds has shifted negatively since it launched last year. If that's true, I'm not sure very many people will play this, but I suppose it will be a nice extra perk when the game is released on Steam next month. Here's the expansion's launch trailer, which appropriately is just the announcement trailer with a different ending slide:


Here are the launch day reviews for Peril on Gorgon. The review scores suffer a bit due to its more-of-the-same nature. Beyond that, they also provide some details about the content the expansion adds to the game outside the Gorgon Asteroid.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is available for sale on the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store for $15. Unlike the base game, Microsoft's Game Pass won't get you the DLC "for free", though it does give a 10% discount. It's also worth taking a look at the store page for the Expansion Pass, which has a few details about the game's second expansion, titled Murder on Eridanos. That's coming out next year.
