New Trailer for The Outer Worlds Shows Off Life in the Halycon Colony

Obsidian Entertainment’s latest upcoming RPG title, The Outer Worlds, is set to release in just a couple of months to sci-fi fans everywhere. The new title from the acclaimed developer has been receiving plenty of spotlight as of late with the latest reveal coming from a brand new trailer showing off the game’s Halycon colony.

Check out the new ‘come to Halycon’ trailer below:

There seems to be loads of diversity planted deep into the experience of the upcoming space RPG title. You can view the full overview as well as the main features for the game below via the game’s Steam page:

Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

Key Features

• The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.
• You can be flawed, in a good way: New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren’t particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon.
• Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It’s up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends.
• Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything… except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.

The Outer Worlds is set to release on October 25, 2019 for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store, while the Steam release will hit one year later in 2020.
