Today, Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment announced The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon, the first narrative-led expansion for the critically acclaimed, darkly humorous sci-fi RPG, is now available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, across the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X, and Windows PC. The expansion will be coming later to Nintendo Switch. The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is available individually or at a discount as part of The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass, which will also include The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos, the second expansion set to launch in the first half of calendar 2021. The Outer Worlds won numerous awards upon its release last year including "Best RPG" from IGN, "Best Role-Playing Game" from Game Informer, and "Game of The Year" from Destructoid.

Peril on Gorgon begins with a cryptic message beckoning you to investigate the Gorgon Asteroid. This remote scientific facility was once a beacon of crowning achievement in developing Adrena-Time, a modern marvel which improved health and worker productivity. However, the program was abruptly and inexplicably shut down. You must venture through deep canyons, defunct laboratories, and abandoned research facilities to piece together the clues that hold the truth behind one of the darkest secrets within the Spacer's Choice corporation. What will you find on Gorgon?



"We wanted to dig into pulp noir to explore the seedier side of Halcyon's corporations," said Carrie Patel, Game Director at Obsidian Entertainment. "With Peril on Gorgon, players (and their favorite crew members!) can explore an exciting new location filled with intrigue and threats, and they can uncover dangerous secrets about Spacer's Choice."

Peril on Gorgon brings a host of additional content for players. It raises the level cap within the game to allow for more flexibility in skill customization and there are more perks and flaws which can provide rare bonuses or unique obstacles. The expansion also introduces three new science weapons and a variety of new armor sets. Peril on Gorgon expands on the award-winning formula of The Outer Worlds while giving players new reasons to revisit and further explore the Halcyon colony.

"The Outer Worlds is a deeply satisfying RPG, full of the player choice and a rich narrative audiences have come to expect from Obsidian, and Peril on Gorgon is a true to form expansion," said Allen Murray, Vice President of Production at Private Division. "This expansion welcomes players to return to the Halcyon colony for even more of the dark humor, compelling story, and exciting adventures that they loved from the base game."


The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is available now for $14.99 digitally for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store. Peril on Gorgon is also available in a bundle for $24.99 which will include the second expansion Murder on Eridanos. Players on Xbox Game Pass will receive a 10% discount to purchase Peril on Gorgon. The expansion requires the base game in order to play. The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is rated M for mature by the ESRB. More information can be found by subscribing on YouTube, following on Twitter, by becoming a fan on Facebook, and visiting www.TheOuterWorlds.com.

A copy of The Outer Worlds on the same platform is required to play DLC and Expansion Pass content. The Outer Worlds is available digitally on Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store.

couldn't bring myself to finish the base game sadly, got bored mid way through. I blame Witcher 3 for bringing RPG genre to such high standard that other games can't even come close.

I'm ashamed to admit it but I completely missed the robot companion in the original. Poor fella spent rest of his days locked in a storage closet.

I’m pretty psyched for this. I’ve been aimlessly trying to get into any gaming recently, after finishing Horizon Zero Dawn.

HZD on PC? How did it run for you? Word on the 'net is that it's a pretty terrible port, hence I've been holding off on grabbing it.

It ran great for me.

Look, I might be extremely lucky or many people are notoriously fickle, but I can go back 5 years and look at big games that many people clogged the net complaining about games running horrible or crashing, and I just have coasted along without problems. I simply install and play, and they work. Same thing with HZD.

So, that’s my experience. I can’t say that yours would be the same, but you asked.

Ran fine for me and friends. Either the people who complaining is lying or just plain dumb.

I see that it's $62 on Epic and then remembered that I have Game Pass, so it literally just one click away!
