Here are 20 minutes of real-time The Outer Worlds gameplay

Arigato!

Here's a fresh, meaty slice of The Outer Worlds gameplay.

Unlike some of the slick, polished teasers we've seen lately, this gameplay captured at Tokyo Games Show by bahagamecrazy shows a good chunk of an early portion of the game in real-time action.

Whilst the text and UI is all in Japanese for the TGS audience, the voice work is English, so it should still give you a sense of the inventory system, voice-work, environments, and that all-important combat, of course. Here, take a peek yourself (thanks, PCGN):

Obsidian Entertainment dropped a new The Outer Worlds teaser just a few weeks back, inviting you to "come to Halcyon" where a raft of exciting new "employment communities" awaits you. You're guaranteed housing, work, and company-approved social clubs (as long as you don't look at the small print and realise nothing is guaranteed at all). And is it just me, or are the visuals a little different from the super cheery narration?

The Outer Worlds is coming to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One - as well as the Xbox Game Pass - on 25th October, 2019. A Switch version is also in development but is still yet to be dated. Sad times.
