While fans await the arrival of Fallout 5 (whenever that time may be), we at least know for sure that The Outer Worlds 2 should be released long before the next entry in the popular Bethesda series.
At this time, despite Fallout 5 being confirmed by Bethesda, its release date is a long way off. Fallout 5 might not be released until 2030 if we’re lucky. Put it this way, Fallout 5 will not arrive until after The Elder Scrolls VI, a game announced back in 2018. If fate works in our favour, we might be waiting no longer than a few years for our next venture into Tamriel.
Check out The Outer Worlds 2 trailer below!

Released in 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, then for the Nintendo Switch a year later, and developed by Obsidian Entertainment, The Outer Worlds is considered to be a spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas. With its immersive story, expansive world and quirky characters, this was a dream intergalactic adventure for fans of the Fallout series and sci-fi.
Announced in 2021, fans were buzzing with excitement following the announcement of The Outer Worlds 2. Well, almost all fans. After all, now that Microsoft owns Obsidian Entertainment, it means that The Outer Worlds 2 will only be coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S. Sorry PlayStation 5 gamers.
At this time we know very little about The Outer Worlds 2, however, the creator of the Fallout series, who also consults on games including the Obsidian Entertainment RPG, Tim Cain, told RockPaperShotgun that fans will be impressed with a once troublesome improvement made in the sequel.
Sadly, Cain wasn't able to elaborate on what this improvement will be due to NDA but teased that Obsidian Entertainment has finally “figured out” a solution that has plagued the Fallout creator for three decades since working on the original game back in 1995. We’re dying to learn more!
The Outer Worlds 2 does not have a release date at the time of writing, but it is expected to be released sometime during early 2026 for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
