The Outer Worlds

The Outer Worlds is a single-player, first-person sci-fi RPG set in the Halcyon colony at the furthest edge of the galaxy. Lost in transit aboard a colonist ship, you wake decades later amid a conspiracy threatening the colony. As you explore space and encounter factions competing for power, your choices shape the story and determine who your character becomes.

Explore Halcyon

Owned and operated by a corporate board, Halcyon includes two planets whose terraforming did not go as planned, leaving alien monsters behind. You search for your ship and explore settlements, space stations and other locations throughout the colony.

Shape your character

You decide how to approach the story, and your choices affect its development, your character build, companion stories and end-game scenarios. The game tracks what you struggle with and may offer a corresponding flaw. For example, repeated attacks by Raptidons can lead to the optional Raptiphobia flaw, which debuffs you when confronting them but immediately grants an additional character perk.

Lead your companions

You meet characters who can join your crew. Each companion has unique abilities, missions, motivations and ideals. You can help them pursue their goals or turn them to your own ends.
