The new RPG may have multiplayer gameplay as roles such as gameplay programmer ask for the developer to have “multiplayer game development experience.“The Outer Worldsdidn’t have multiplayer, which prompted some fans toplay games likeBorderlands 3so that they could play together. Many fans would really like to see Obsidian’s next RPG have some form of multiplayer gameplay.
The game may also be available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X, as the gameplay programmer job listing says “experience with cross-platform game development.” Microsoft has confirmed that theXbox Series X won’t have any exclusives for one or two years, so there’s a good chance the game will be on both systems.
In November 2019, Obsidianconfirmed that it is developing several RPGs. The company teased that it has more than one but less than 40 games in development and that some of these are big RPGs that could be compared toThe Outer Worlds. It’s unclear if these new jobs would be working on one or all of these RPGs.
It seems unlikely that fans will hear about these new Obsidian RPGs for a while. Obsidian is hiring for roles such as character animator and lead technical artists, and while a developer may make the game’s gameplay features before its art, if the game doesn’t have artwork, it probably isn’t ready to be officially announced.
However, Obsidian will likely be revealing something atE3 2020. The developer has announcedGroundedand confirmed it for a 2020 early-access release date, so it could potentially share a new trailer for that game.
The Outer Worldsis available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and will soon be available for Nintendo Switch.
