Since they released The Outer Worlds 2 around this time last year, the world has rather turned upside down for Obsidian. The studio lost a chunk of staff to Microsoft’s mass layoffs and have pivoted to making a new Fallout game as a smaller group shoved underneath Bethesda in Xbox’s corporate structure.
Given all that, The Outer Worlds 2’s two-part story expansion is likely arriving in vastly different circumstances than those the studio might’ve imagined when they began sketching out DLC plans. Part one of the expansion, dubbed Side Effects Guaranteed, is set to release early next month.
