Microsoft today announcedThe Outer Worlds 2and I for one will be delighted to probe the many mysteries of another solar system stuck in a time loo- oh god damn it,not again.

Microsoft say the sequel is “taking place in a new star system with a new crew” and that’s all they have to say, really. Sounds like the game might be a way away.The trailer jokes that some things shown won’t be in the game, and says we only see the main character in silhouette “because the developers haven’t finished the design, or finished the story, or finished any gameplay that’s actually ready to show. In fact, the only thing they have finished is the title.” Which is Outer Wilds 2. No, damn it no, it’sThe Outer Worlds 2.“The Outer Worldsis alright, innit. It’s good fun,” Alice Bee said in ourThe Outer Worlds review. “Sit back and let the orange and neon wash over you. Boo the cartoonishly evil corporations. Exhale through your nose at their Diet Toothpaste. I bet I’ll play it again, in fact. But you can tell it could have been great, if it had taken a few more risks. Real space cowboys take risks, don’t they?“Good loading screens, mind.E3 2021 may be over but our memories live on - see everything on ourE3 hub. Many more big game showcases and streams are still to come this summer, leading up to Gamescom, so see oursummer games stream scheduleto stay up to date.
