The first expansion for Obsidian's latest expansion is here with The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The Switch release is TBC. As the first of two planned expansions (the second, The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos, is due in 2021) it tasks you and your crew with investigating the strange happenings on the Gorgon Asteroid.

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.”

With a new location and story plus an increased level cap and brand-new science weapons to play with, if you're a fan of The Outer Worlds (of which we definitely were) then this is kind of a no-brainer.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon is available for $22.95 AUD and as part of as part of The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass.
