In Grounded, you find that you have been shrunken down to the size of an ant, and the backyard has turned into a place where the mundane has become fantastical!

Avowed Obsidian Entertainment's next epic, first-person RPG set in the fantasy world of Eora.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is the first narrative expansion to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. A severed arm and a mysterious message lead the crew of the Unreliable to the Gorgon Asteroid, 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. Key Features: Intrigue and danger: Search an abandoned Spacer’s Choice facility and encounter a cast of new characters as you uncover the mystery behind the sudden cancellation of the Gorgon Project. New locations: Explore the treacherous canyons of the Gorgon Asteroid and encounter enemies that have been warped by science. More science weapons: Discover three outlandish new science weapons, including the P.E.T. (Pest Extermination Tool), an exciting new melee weapon that draws in enemies for close-range attacks. Expanded character customization and lore: An increased level cap, additional perks and flaws, wholly new armor sets, and several variants for existing gear. Plus, dig into the story of the Gorgon Asteroid with new Portable Phonograph audio logs that reveal the salacious secrets of a scientific experiment gone wrong. The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is the first of two narrative expansions that can be purchased individually or bundled at a discount in The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass. A copy of The Outer Worlds on the same platform is required to play expansion(s).

We have been making progress on this and are working to find a solution that works that we can implement. I understand the frustration this has been causing some of you, and we apologize for this. But we are working on it. Thank you all for your patience and understanding at this time!

Greetings employees of Halcyon, At this time, we need to inform you that the Nintendo Switch port development has been halted temporarily. The team at Virtuos had their offices closed temporarily due to the coronavirus for their safety. We are happy to report that they are all healthy, but development has been impacted. The release date needs to be pushed back to provide this team with more development time. We also want to share with you that when The Outer Worlds does release for the Switch, you will have the opportunity to purchase a physical cartridge with the boxed version of the game for those of you wishing to own a physical copy of the game. Thank you for reading, and we appreciate your patience while we continue development for this port. We will continue to share more news with you as we learn more.

We have not forgotten and we are still working on this. I'll be sure to let you know when I know more regarding this. Also, thank you for your continued patience on this issue, we appreciate it.

Greetings, Watchers! We are excited to announce that Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Ultimate Edition was released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 yesterday, and we have been excitedly reading and watching all of the posts you have been sharing throughout the internet. For our Watchers waiting for the Nintendo Switch release, when we have an update on that port, we’ll be sure to share it with you all. While we have you here, our very own Alec Frey, Production Director here at Obsidian, wrote an article going over what is took to make a boss fight for Deadfire. However, the example talked about in this article is regarding an encounter in The Forgotten Sanctum DLC, so if you have not experienced this DLC yet, you may want to wait to read the article as there are things discussed that could be considered spoilers. For those of you who are busy getting to know your new Watcher, or are ready to continue your adventure in Eora again with your Watcher, we would love to learn more about your Watcher and how they got started on this adventure! Feel free to visit our Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Characters Builds, Strategies & the Unity Engine (Spoiler Warning) and share your Watcher with us! We love reading all the creative backstories and how you choose to play your character. Lastly, should you encounter any issues while playing the game, feel free to check our Technical Support forums to see if your issue has been reported and whether a resolution has been found.

Thank you for all of your support, Watchers, and good luck out there adventuring through Eora.

I'm sorry you had to stop playing, but thank you for sharing! I'll keep you posted on this once I know more!!

Hi there! I'm sorry you are experiencing this. In researching this issue, it seems that the launcher is having an issue trying to locate a game file. You could try to uninstall and reinstall the game to see if that helps at all. I would also check to see if maybe your OS has an update waiting. If none of the helps, I did find this thread that may be able to help you fix this issue: https://steamcommunity.com/app/258520/discussions/1/618460171326049686/ Or you could try contacting either our support team at support@obsdiain.net or Epic Game Store support here: https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/epic-games-store-and-launcher/?contact=1 Hopefully you will be able to have this issue resolved soon. I apologize for an inconveniences, and will keep my fingers crossed that you'll be able to get into the game soon!
