Later this year The Outer Worlds 2<\/a> will take players to a distant colony world called Arcadi, where they can shoot their way out of trouble with a new assortment of weapons. According to the game’s director, Brandon Adler, Obsidian Entertainment knew the sequel needed to be a significant improvement over The Outer Worlds<\/a>. To achieve that goal, the team turned to the developers of Halo for advice.<\/p>\n

“We … talked to the Halo folks,” Adler tells The Guardian<\/a>. “They gave us a huge list of stuff and said, ‘You guys should target this\u2026 you should add that to your weapon configurations.'” Adler also says that Obsidian “did a full breakdown on Destiny, because we love how that [gunplay] felt.'”<\/p>\n

Adler notes that the sequel doesn’t have loading screens before entering buildings like its predecessor, and the weapons have been revamped with fresh options and customizable features.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t want small changes,” continues Adler. “Every weapon feels very different; every weapon has a cool, unique purpose. You can even take those weapons and add mods on to them to do all kinds of crazy things.”<\/p>\n

One of the other changes in the sequel is that players can swap from first-person to third-person at will<\/a>, and decide how they want to experience the game. The Outer Worlds 2 also has the distinction of being the first $80 game for Xbox Series X|S<\/a>. In a previous interview, Adler said that Obsidian didn’t set the price for the game and suggested that players should take it up with Microsoft<\/a> if they have a problem with it.<\/p>\n

The Outer Worlds 2 will hit Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC on October 29.<\/p>\n
