Following a significant round of layoffs at Obsidian, the studio behind The Outer Worlds and Avowed, fans and critics alike have been left wondering about the impact on their upcoming projects. Brandon Adler, director of The Outer Worlds 2, has stepped forward to reassure gamers that the studio's creative essence remains unchanged.
