During the Game Awards 2018,Fallout: New Vegasdeveloper Obsidian revealed to the world its latest IP. Following the reveal of its teaser, many believed thisnew game could potentially be aBioShockSpinoff.This was due to the unique,BioShock-like design that accompanied the teaser, with companies titled Spacer’s Choice and Auntie Cleo’s giving off a retro-like vibe. Now, we know that this latest game is a brand new universe known asThe Outer Worlds.
Of course, little is known aboutObsidians' latest project, but the developer has a good reputation in the gaming community. This means it’s likely many are excited about what’s to come, but so far, we know thatThe Outer Worldssees players travel to the edges of the galaxy in opposition to some corrupt companies.

As seen in the above trailer, there is definitely going to be a level of humor toThe Outer Worlds, as there is a unique choice for the main character, a few absurdities, and a fitting background song. Moreover, the steampunk sci-fi dystopian setting is a bit out there as well, so players should expect a hilarious thriller out of this.
Other than that, a lot is hush-hush until the game gets closer to launch in 2019. It’s worth adding that this is Obsidian’s first game sinceits acquisition by Microsoft, though this game is being published by Private Division, an indie label from Take-Two.
