Any RPG player knows the importance of companions; for some people, they are the best part of any RPG. Obsidian clearly knows this, as it decided to reveal the companions for their upcoming Sci-Fi RPG The Outer Worlds 2, during Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2025.
In a typically self-aware trailer that had me laughing out loud as they revealed the six companions of The Outer Worlds 2 and perhaps more importantly revealed “no, you can’t sleep with them.” Leaving me to wonder what kind of RPG this is!
Check out the trailer for yourself below:
There is something about Obsidian’s signature charm and tongue-in-cheek nature that shines through even brighter every time I see more of The Outer Worlds 2. I’m not usually a fan of companions, but in Outer Worlds, I enjoyed them, so here’s hoping the companions of the sequel are just as interesting. I can’t wait to dive into the game for myself, and if you’re feeling like me. Thankfully, we don’t have too long to wait now.
The Outer Worlds 2 launches October 29th, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. It will be available Day One with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass
