First Expansion For ‘The Outer Worlds’, “Peril on Gorgon”, Launching September 9th
Obsidian has announced their first of two expansions for The Outer Worlds in the form of “Peril on Gorgon”. The narrative DLC will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 9th.
Announced during the Xbox Games Showcase, Xbox Game Pass users will receive a 10 percent discount on the DLC, which is also available as part of an expansion pass for The Outer Worlds.
In Peril on Gorgon, players receive a brand new “noir-tinged adventure” where players travel to the Gorgon Asteroid to investigate the mysterious origin of Adrena-Time. While there, you’ll find new weapons and armor, perks, flaws, and the same freedom to approach your problems that made the original game so rewarding. In order to gain access to Gorgon, the player will have needed to progress past Monarch.
The Outer Worlds is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.
After launching last October on Steam, Assemble Entertainment and developer Tainted Pact are bringing their old-school survival horror game Flesh Made Fear to the PlayStation 5 next week on June 25.
Conceived by Michael Cosio, who also created Massacre at the Mirage, Terror at Oakheart and Suffer the Night (and is currently working on The Skin Stapler), Flesh Made Fear draws inspiration from the fixed-camera tension, puzzle-driven pacing, and scarce resources of classic Resident Evil games, while adding its own blend of body horror, conspiracy, and occult terror.
Players take on the role of an elite operative in the Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.), a covert task force deployed to neutralize Victor “The Dripper” Ripper—a brilliant but deranged former CIA agent. His sinister experiments have turned a desolate backwater town into a nightmare filled with grotesque monsters and mind-controlled thralls. Your mission is clear: eliminate Ripper, unravel his chilling secrets, and survive the horrors lurking in his mansion-turned-laboratory.
You can tackle the nightmare of The Dripper as one of two survivors, each with their own abilities and personal journey. Jack (greater health, smaller inventory) relies on grit and clever instincts to endure the horrors closing in around him, while Natalie (less health, larger inventory) meets the madness head-on with sharp resolve, quick wit, and relentless stamina. Both characters offers unique stats and storylines, enhancing replayability.
Vulnerability is the name of the game in Flesh Made Fear. By reintroducing mechanics like limited saves, a mix of fixed and dynamic camera angles, and restricted resources, the game forces players into a constant state of tension. Every decision – whether to fight, flee, or conserve ammunition – carries weight. This careful design, paired with grotesque visuals and a conspiratorial story, aims to deliver “an authentic yet modernized survival horror experience.”
