The final story expansion for The Outer Worlds lands next week and, this time, it’s up to you to solve a murder mystery. So hop to it, spacer!
Halcyon Helen has been murdered and someone’s got to travel to scenic Eridanos and figure out whodunnit, so it might as well be you. True to The Outer Worlds’ choice-driven narrative, there is no set path to solving this heinous crime. You’re going to have to find clues, interrogate witnesses, test alibis, and argue your case to get to the bottom of it all. To help you out, the all new Discrepancy Amplifier tool uses Science™ to seek out all possible clues in your immediate vicinity, narrowing down the details most pertinent to your investigation. Was it Spencer Woolrich, Helen’s co-star? How about legendary tossball player Black Hole Bertie? What about you? What were you doing on the night of Ms Bellamy’s murder?
The very real option of self-accusation aside, the Murder on Eridanos expansion also includes a bunch of new perks and flaws, weapons, armour, and side quests.
The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos launches for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation on 17 March. It is automatically included as part of the Expansion Pass, otherwise you will have to purchase it separately.
Time to wash down that hype with the triple-distilled deliciousness of Rizzo’s Spectrum Brown Vodka. You’ve earned it, spacer.
