The Outer Worlds 2 is getting some dev help from one of Fallout’s co-creators

We might not know much about The Outer Worlds 2 yet, but one little nugget that’s just emerged is that its devs are getting some helpful guidance from Fallout co-creator Tim Cain.

If Starfield didn’t quite live up to your expectations, odds are you’re looking forward to playing Obsidian’s next interstellar RPG, which was announced back in 2021, whenever it arrives. While that point might still be a while off, here’s a little bit of insight into how its development is going.

Speaking to Rock Paper Shotgun, Cain, who served as a director for The Outer Worlds revealed that despite being now semi-retired, he’s currently consulting on its sequel, providing some feedback on the likes of level design and lore. “There’s stuff they’re trying to do in the sequel, that of course I can’t talk about, that I get pulled in on because it’s similar to stuff I’ve done in the past,” Cain said.
