Fallout: New Vegas’ Obsidian Entertainment gave us an incredible new RPG experience last year with  The Outer Worlds and instantly it was a huge hit with fans of this particular genre. The comparisons to Fallout, BioShock, and Borderlands were immediate – but let’s be real, it really is just Fallout: New Vegas in space. And you know what? That’s awesome! Or, to me, it’s New Mass Vegas Effect, which is even better. Though the game itself has tons of replayability options due to the choices made in-game, it looks like there will be another reason to dive back in because we finally have our The Outer Worlds Nintendo Switch release date set in stone!

For more about the game itself: 

“In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.”
