Nintendo announced that Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds will come to the Nintendo Switch on June 5.
Earlier this year, the launch of the darkly cosmic and comic RPG was delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak in China. “We’re working with the team to determine an updated development timeline, and will share more regarding a new launch date shortly,” said publisher Private Division at the time. Now, the game will be releasing digitally and physically in a few months, and the latter will be accompanied by a patch that will “optimize gameplay, provide additional hi-res textures, and include other fixes.”
“Obsidian’s managed to create a space opera with conscious themes and consequences, and no one clipped through the floor even once,” I marvelled when I reviewed the game last year. The game offers acerbic humour and anti-capitalist commentary in the guise of a Fallout-in-space adventure, and every action had a reaction that carved out my course through this downtrodden colony. I liked it, in short.
The Outer Worlds is out now for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and arrives for the Nintendo Switch on June 5.
