One of the most popular games to hit the market in 2019, The Outer Worlds, will be getting a DLC in the coming year, Obsidian has confirmed. In a forum post thanking their fans for the support they’ve shown both the game and the team, they added that “the journey isn’t over yet” and that more details would be available at a later date.
Outer Worlds, launched at the end of October this year, did not win any awards at the Game Awards, but it was nominated in four categories: Game of the Year, Best Narrative, Best Performance (for Ashly Burch, who voices Parvati Holcomb, one of the Companions available in the game), and Best RPG. In all fairness, the competition was quite stiff: the Game of the Year award went to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, both Best Narrative and Best RPG went to fan-favorite indie game Disco Elysium, and Mads Mikkelsen’s part in Death Stranding got Best Performance. Still, the developers thanked their community for voting and overall support, and dropped the above bomb.
“To all of those who voted for us in The Game Awards, you are all fantastic and we are so grateful for your support. The reception to The Outer Worlds has been unbelievable to see, and even just being nominated means a lot,” wrote Obsidian social media manager Shyla in a forum post, adding, “However, the journey isn’t over yet as we are excited to announce that we will be expanding the story through DLC next year! Details will be made available at a later date.” Fans immediately latched onto this piece of news, but the developers remained tight-lipped, no matter how much fans attempted to sweet-talk them.
