FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions 

Is The Outer Worlds 2 set in the same universe as the first game?

Yes, but you’ll explore an entirely new star system called Arcadia, filled with chaotic science, corporate control, and faction-driven conflict.

According to the developers at Obsidian, your decisions significantly impact the story, faction alignment, and the fate of major characters. Multiple endings are possible based on your actions.

Combat combines tactical shooting with expanded stealth mechanics, new weapon types, and abilities like double jumps and time dilation detonations. The gunplay has been reworked and larger open areas offer more strategic depth.

Expect around 50 hours of gameplay depending on how deeply you explore the world and engage with side quests.

The Outer Worlds 2 is powered by Unreal Engine 5, offering improved visuals, larger environments, and more detailed world-building compared to the first game.
