Obsidian Entertainment appears to be closing the book on further entries in The Outer Worlds for now, with no current development underway for a third instalment. Studio leadership has signalled a shift in priorities toward expanding Avowed and reducing production timelines after an intense period of releases.

  • No active plans: The studio does not currently intend to develop a third Outer Worlds title, according to remarks shared in a recent industry interview.
  • Release surge: Obsidian launched multiple major projects in a single year, including Avowed and two other high-profile releases, putting a heavy load on the team.
  • Shorter dev cycles: CEO Feargus Urquhart indicated the studio wants to cut development time down to roughly three to four years, a move prompted by prior projects that took six-plus years to finish.
  • Avowed expansion: Management is prioritising further entries in the Avowed franchise, suggesting future resources will be directed there rather than another Outer Worlds sequel.
  • Source of info: The comments came out of a sit-down with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, where Obsidian outlined its strategy following the studio’s recent output.
