The Outer Worlds 2 in October

Today's promised showcase for The Outer Worlds 2 included an Official Story Trailer setting the stage for the science fiction RPG sequel. It also sets the date, saying our chance to return to its titular Outer Worlds arrives on October 29th.

The Outer Worlds 2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning, first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment (just look at the exciting number of dashes in this sentence!). Time to clear your calendar – get ready for an action-packed adventure with a new crew, new weapons, and new enemies in a new colony! So much newness!

As a daring and most likely good-looking Earth Directorate agent, you must uncover the source of devastating rifts threatening to destroy all of humanity. Your investigation leads to Arcadia, home of skip drive technology, where the fate of the colony, and ultimately the entire galaxy, rests on your decisions—your strengths, your flaws, your crew, and the factions you choose to trust.

I'm looking forward to this one as well. I liked the first one because it wasn't too long. Sometimes these types of rpgs can get boring if they go on forever. It was surprisingly short but I was ok with it

Very much looking forward to this. I really liked the first one along with the dlc. Yes, I know. The Spacer’s Choice Edition was crap.
Same here. Good and entertaining game. I thought the DLC about the vanished journalist was even better than the main game.

I can (sorta) understand people who succumb to drugs. I can understand people who succumb to booze. Or to fast food. Or to ShitfliX or Amazon Crime.

But to succumb to GamePass means you have terminally given up any last tiny crumbs of dignity. GamePass is the abyss. The void. The end.

Listed at $80 on Isthereanydeal.com and on Steam. Is this just incorrect preliminary information or are the industry bean counters collectively losing their minds?

EDIT: Just read on IGN that, yep, 80 bucks. I just cannot figure out the suits - do they WANT games to fail and to be forced to lay off dev teams due to abysmal sales? I suppose that being this is Microsoft this could be a thinly-veiled attempt to get people to sign up for Gamepass? Not me; it's a good deal for some but it's a voluntary forfeiture of the consumer right to own things to me. Pass.

It's not the best choice.
