‘The Outer Worlds’ Headed to The Nintendo Switch
Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming RPG The Outer Worlds will be headed to the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo broke the news on Twitter, with a lengthy video featuring Obsidian’s Senior Producer, Matthew Singh, making the announcement.
The Switch version of the title will arrive sometime after the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions on October 25. The Switch version will be ported by Virtuos, who previously handled the Switch port for Dark Souls Remastered.
“Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.”
