In this exclusive look at The Outer Worlds 2, IGN takes us on a thrilling journey through the game's expanded open zones and regions. The team behind the game, led by art director Daniel Albert and game director Brandon Adler, discusses the use of Unreal Engine 5 to create vast, immersive worlds that are larger and more expansive than ever before. They emphasize the importance of rewarding exploration with dense environments and captivating stories, promising players a truly unforgettable experience.
One of the key areas highlighted in this exclusive preview is Golden Ridge, a resource-rich but lifeless landscape on the moon of Dorado. The region is a battleground for factions vying for control of the valuable resource eranium, which powers the society of the Protectorate. Players can expect to encounter familiar elements from the first game, such as side quests and interesting characters, alongside new collectibles like toss ball cards that offer unique bonuses.
The team at Obsidian Entertainment meticulously crafts each world to offer a distinct and diverse experience, ensuring that every moon and area feels unique and immersive. From the expansive and open landscapes of Golden Ridge to the confined yet epic environments of Xyanium Labs, players are in for a treat as they explore these meticulously designed spaces. The game's setting, reminiscent of the early 20th century with a mix of Old West and World War I influences, adds a layer of depth and authenticity to the world of The Outer Worlds 2.
Unreal Engine 5 has revolutionized the development process, allowing for greater collaboration and faster iteration, particularly in areas such as real-time lighting and global illumination. This technological advancement has enabled the team to bring their creative vision to life in ways previously unimaginable. As IGN continues its exclusive coverage of The Outer Worlds 2, fans can look forward to insights on combat, the flaw system, and the evolution of RPGs from creative director Leonard Boyarsky. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on this highly anticipated game from Obsidian Entertainment.
