Take-Two’s Financial Report Narrows Timeframe For ‘Disintegration’ Release, Switch Version of ‘The Outer Worlds’
Switch users now have a better idea of just when Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds will be released, thanks to the latest financial report for Q2 2019 by Take-Two Interactive. In addition to that, we now have a better idea of when first-person shooter Disintegration will arrive (since we never got one when the game was first revealed back at Gamescom).
According to the report, which paints “positive momentum continued in the second quarter,” has The Outer Worlds headed to the Nintendo Switch “in calendar 2020, during our fiscal year 2020.” What that means is that the game would be released sometime before March 31, 2020, since the fiscal year for the video game industry starts in April. Not exactly the most narrow, but it at least gives you the idea of when to start looking.
As for Disintegration, the game will “launch digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in calendar 2020, during our fiscal year 2021.” That would put it between April and December 2020. Again, it’s not the most narrow of estimates, but what can you do?
Another interesting point is the line from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who states that “Take-Two has the strongest development pipeline in its history, including sequels from our biggest franchises as well as exciting new IP.” One such franchise that’s rumoured to be having a new entry being worked on is BioShock, which has reportedly been in development for a couple of years now under the codename of Parkside. It’s nothing official, and we haven’t heard anything about BioShock since, well, BioShock Infinite, but Take-Two would be foolish to not want to give fans another entry in the series.

Physical ‘Observer System Redux – Limited Edition’ Announced for Switch 2, Coming This October
Available now digitally on the Switch 2, for those fans who want that something extra in regards to Bloober Team’s cyberpunk horror title Observer, Meridiem has the answer, announcing that it will publish and distribute a physical edition of Observer System Redux – Limited Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2. Set for release on October 30, you can pre-order the game now.
In addition to being on a physical cart, Observer System Redux – Limited Edition will include a special case, a lenticular 3D postcard, in-game ad cards and digital content.
Originally released back in 2019, Observer received an upgraded and expanded System Redux version the next year. Starring the late Rutger Hauer, the year is 2084. The future has turned out much darker than anyone could imagine. First, there was the Nanophage. A digital plague that killed thousands upon thousands of those who chose to augment their minds and bodies. Then came the War, leaving both the West and the East decimated and shattered. With no one left to seize power, corporations took over and forged their own crooked empires.
You are an Observer – a tool of corporate oppression. Feared and despised, you hack into the darkest corners of your suspects’ minds. You creep into their dreams, expose their fears, and extract whatever your investigation may require.
Observer System Redux is also available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
