Obsidian Entertainment had a huge presence during the Xbox Series X event, appearing there with three announcements. It showcased a new launch trailer for Grounded, the announcement of its next big RPG Avowed, and the first of of two DLCs for The Outer Worlds. Titled Peril on Gorgon, the first new DLC looks mightily impressive with a ton of feature to boot.
While some details are scarce, the trailer confirms new weapons, a new area to explore, and a few story hints. Shortly after The Outer Worlds debuted Peril on Gorgon, though, details such as a level cap increase, when the DLC can be started, and more were also confirmed.
The level cap increase for The Outer Worlds is going up by 3, meaning the new max level will be 33 for the game and adding about 6-8 hours of gameplay. The main game became so popular that the ambition of Outer Worlds' two DLC?has reportedly expanded, so this may excite many fans of the game. It also comes with some new perks to unlock, an added bonus, and new flaws to further flesh out the NPC.
For those who want to check out the DLC without a max level or endgame character, though, the story DLC is not endgame content. The DLC cannot be started at the beginning of The Outer Worlds, but once players finish the main quests on Monarch (roughly halfway through the game), players will be able to check out the Peril on Gorgon DLC. This likely means the story here is somewhat detached from the events of the main game, and that the main game will be able to be finished afterward with the new weapons and the like.
Perhaps the biggest question now is if a new companion for The Outer Worlds in also in the works. It seems unlikely, given its release date isn't that far and they would have likely featured bigger in the trailer, but it's an exciting possibility nonetheless.
The Outer Worlds: Peril On Gorgon?will be available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 9.
