For RPG fans, there’s nothing quite like the moment a new world opens up before you–when the menu fades, the music swells, and you realise you can go anywhere. Role-playing games have always offered that rare kind of escapism: the chance to step into a different life, shape your own story, and lose yourself in a universe that feels alive.
With The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian Entertainment captures that feeling again–the thrill of exploration, the satisfaction of choice, and the joy of seeing a world shift around your actions.
Every corner of Arcadia tells a story worth discovering.
Arcadia, the colony at the heart of The Outer Worlds 2, feels like a place built for wandering. Every outpost, settlement, and alien landscape tells its own story. The conversations you overhear, the missions you stumble into, even the way the sky shifts above you–it all makes the world feel lived-in. There’s a sense of texture to everything, like the game wants you to slow down and take it in rather than rush to the next objective.
