Xbox kicked off its Summer Game Fest showcase by revealing the release date to The Outer Worlds 2 , the sci-fi first-person RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, via a new trailer. The sequel is coming out on October 29, 2025 and Xbox plans to follow-up its stream with an in-depth look at the game.
Like the original The Outer Worlds , the sequel continues its satire of end-times capitalism, focusing in the trailer on the player character's Earth Directorate agent working against various companies vying for destructive, dangerous technology. What that looks like in practice is freezing and exploding enemies with a variety of out-of-this-world weapons — shrink rays included. Knowing Obsidian's output, there's bound to be plenty of non-lethal ways to get what you want, too.
The Outer Worlds 2 is coming out on October 29, 2025 for Xbox Series X / S, PC and streaming through Xbox Cloud Streaming.

Invincible VS Is a Tag-Team Brawler Packed With Bloody Superhero Carnage
Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase had its share of surprises, including a new game from Pokémon developer Game Freak and the ROG Xbox Ally portable handheld. Another surprise is a fighting game featuring characters from the Invincible comic and show. Invincible VS is a 3-vs.-3 tag fighting game featuring characters from the Invincible universe. The trailer showed several characters from the show, including Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Rex Splode, Bulletproof, and two Viltrumites—the powerful alien species Omni-Man and Invincible belong to. The game itself has a comic book art style to it, but its action is more along the lines of Mortal Kombat. The fighting is very bloody—which is faithful to the comic and show—but no kind of fatalities were shown in the trailer. There are also a couple of familiar settings from the show. While only a handful of characters were shown in this first glimpse of Invincible VS, there is a wealth of heroes and villains that could be added to the game before it launches. Robert Kirkman's Invincible started as a comic in 2003 and ended its run in 2018. In 2021, an animated series based on the comic made its debut on Amazon Prime Video. The show wrapped up its third season in March and has already been renewed for a fourth season. Skybound Games is publishing Invincible VS with development handled by Quarter Up, an in-house studio led by members of the team that created 2013's Killer Instinct. Invincible VS will be released sometime in 2026 for PC and Xbox Series consoles.
