Peril on Gorgon: First DLC for The Outer Worlds Coming in September
Following today’s announcement – made during the Xbox Series X showcase event – that Obsidian Entertainment is working on a new, next-gen RPG called Avowed, the studio has also revealed that new content is on the way for The Outer Worlds. It has been almost nine months since the release of the award-winning sci-fi RPG. However, fans won’t have to wait much longer; ‘Peril on Gorgon‘ is coming this September.
The Outer Worlds DLC: Peril on Gorgon
“A severed arm and a mysterious message lead the crew of the Unreliable to the Gorgon Asteroid,” writes Obsidian; “formerly the site of one of Halcyon’s most ambitious and disastrous scientific undertakings, now a lawless den of monsters and marauders. Wealthy recluse Minnie Ambrose tasks the crew with finding answers about Dr. Olivia Ambrose, her mother and the doomed project’s disgraced director, but they are soon ensnared in an intrigue that will change the colony forever.”
Peril on Gorgon is the first-ever narrative DLC for The Outer Worlds; Obsidian Entertainment’s latest RPG title. Of course, the expansion will feature an all-new setting, the Gorgon Asteroid. Players can expect to encounter a whole new cast of characters on Gorgon, as well as new quests and side-stories. However, the DLC will also be bringing some more general new content and core improvements to The Outer Worlds.
The upcoming DLC will increase the game’s level cap, for instance, and feature new perks and flaws for players to gain. Plus, players can look forward to three new science weapons. Alongside those additions, the DLC will also include new armour sets, new enemies, and a new Portable Phonograph audio log system. The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is the first of two narrative expansions which Obsidian plans to launch. Both of these are included with the game’s Expansion Pass, but each can also be purchased separately. The DLC will be launching on all platforms on the 9th of September.
