The Outer Worlds Expansion: Will Outer Worlds Get DLC?
The Outer Worlds expansions are a hot topic among fans of the sci-fi RPG. Obsidian has a history of making excellent DLC, as it did with Fallout: New Vegas' many expansions. Does the developer plan to follow a similar track with The Outer Worlds? Here's what we know.
@OuterWorlds Hey. I just finished the game and I have a question.

Is there going to be a dlc/expansion/addon/sequel that explains what's going on with Earth?
The Outer Worlds Expansion: Will Outer Worlds Get DLC?
Obsidian and Private Division released The Outer Worlds Oct. 25. The RPG is a significant time investment on its own, with around 30 hours of content to explore and experience. Fans are still hungry for more to do, but Obsidian has yet to announce any plans for Outer Worlds DLC.
Although that doesn't make DLC an impossibility, a new development since The Outer Worlds' release makes it somewhat unlikely. Obsidian has announced its next title, Grounded, which is set to arrive in spring 2020. With so soon a release date, most of Obsidian's resources are likely aimed at completing the new title. Any Outer Worlds work is likely on the back burner.
In short: No DLC is planned, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
