The Outer Worlds 2 sets December 2 for its first story expansion

Obsidian has dated the first part of Side Effects Guaranteed, a two-part expansion for The Outer Worlds 2. A distress call sends the crew toward an abandoned settlement and a power struggle involving Sub Rosa.

New ways to play

  • Elysium Valley adds locations and quests, and the expansion raises the level cap to 36.
  • A main-menu option lets players start with a premade level 27 character.
  • A free update arriving alongside the expansion allows players to reassign their character’s build.

Part two is planned for spring 2027.
