The Outer Worlds Coming To Physical Media, Sets Price
by Matt Miller on Feb 05, 2019 at 12:31 PM

For our March issue cover story, we visited Obsidian Entertainment to take a deep dive into The Outer Worlds. Led by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, two of the creators of the original Fallout, the new game has sparked the imagination of gamers with its new original sci-fi pulp setting and its first-person RPG gameplay. It’s safe to say that the game has rocketed into the territory of highly anticipated, and we now have some more details about how publisher Private Division is planning to handle release.

In addition to its availability on digital platforms, The Outer Worlds will also be available on disc at physical retail on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Regardless of format, Private Division has shared with us that the game will retail for $60.

While we know the platforms and price, Obsidian and Private Division are still not ready to share a release date for the game. As of now, we only know that The Outer Worlds has a planned release date sometime in 2019.

It was announced that it would be released in 2019 and I doubt that will change.

March Cover Revealed – The Outer Worlds
by MATT MILLER on Feb 05, 2019 at 11:00 AM

The announcement of The Outer Worlds took the gaming world by storm when it appeared as part of 2018’s Game Awards. Its debut appearance revealed the first-person RPG draws strong inspiration from the Fallout series, but takes place in a brand new outer space setting. The comparisons aren’t surprising, as The Outer Worlds co-directors Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are two of the individuals most responsible for the original Fallout game’s release in 1997.

Even with all the excitement about the announcement, we were left with a wealth of questions about the game, so for our March cover story we visited Obsidian Entertainment for a deep dive into what the game has to offer.


Inside, you’ll find 14 pages chock full of new details, screenshots, and art from The Outer Worlds. We learned about the distant Halcyon star system that serves as the setting. A new demo showed off new playstyles for confronting encounters, including a surprising approach that focuses on leadership and companions. We learned about leveling, character progression, and skill acquisition – and saw the hilarious shrink ray weapon in action. We also spoke extensively with the developers at Obsidian about the scope and size of The Outer Worlds, the comparisons to Fallout, and more.

The March issue also afforded us the chance to learn more about Ubisoft’s upcoming release of The Division 2, with a thorough examination of how the game has grown from its predecessor, and is embracing a deep end-game experience. We visited the headquarters of the VR specialists at Oculus, and we’re happy to share a first look at a new fantasy adventure called Asgard’s Wrath, which aims to raise expectations for large-scale VR gaming. If you’re already planning your watch list for the next year, expect a multi-page feature on the most anticipated games of 2019 as well.

Print subscribers can expect their issues to begin arriving in the coming weeks. The digital edition of this issue launches today for PC/Mac, iOS, and Google Play. You can also get the latest issue through third-party apps on Nook and Kindle later this week.

Beyond our magazine coverage of The Outer Worlds, we drilled down for spotlight features and interviews across the full breadth of the game. We’ll be rolling that info out throughout the month, including a rapid-fire interview with Cain and Boyarsky, a closer look at the shrink ray, and much more. Watch the coverage trailer for more.

Last time we got one of these was Stick of Truth.

> Do you consider this a throwback RPG?

Tim: No.
Leonard (simultaneously): Yes... *glances at Tim* -- Next generation of a throwback RPG.

>We have a wonderfully frank conversation with sexy-horse-faced-tranny-artist, Fergie, about the state of Obsidian, and the challenges in developing the Outer Worlds.

Tim: It's a roller coaster.
Leonard: I hope people aren't over-hyping it.

Fergalicious: We started the company to make games like the Outer Worlds.

I have that awful premonition that this game will be faggy.

I was just about to say, the color theme certainly looks... diverse.

Maybe she's a mudshark.

 

[HarveyBirdman]

White blonde spotted, Codex cant complain about SJWs anymore

In a movie poster. She's clearly a representative of the disgusting grip the companies have over the Outer Worlds -- an antoginistic archtype in the face of real lesbians living in the Borderlands housing.

White blonde spotted, Codex cant complain about SJWs anymore

I could complain about it even if the game is filled with 90% white people.

 

[Quillon]

Where iz the rest of the mag?

White blonde spotted, Codex cant complain about SJWs anymore

If only that character was actually in the game, I might be able to stand looking at her for more than 5 seconds

 

[Alienman]

Nice, a hot chick.

 

[Roguey]

What you want: the blonde chick on the poster.
What you're gonna get: the rough looking brown woman next to her.

Honestly, if either of them were exceptionally well-written, I couldn't give a shit.

It's just that on average I expect videogame characters to have the depth and complexity of a fucking piece of cardboard with a stick figure drawn on it. So if you at least give me something pretty to look at...

Fixt.
