The Outer Worlds 2 will use Unreal Engine 5, according to an RPG job offer from Obsidian

The sequel was officially announced last E3 with a teaser trailer, but its release date is far off.

The Outer Worlds 2 was one of the surprises that Xbox and Bethesda came up with during their conference last E3 2021 . His confirmation was already good news, although we have just seen a brief teaser trailer that confirms that the style and humor of the first installment will be maintained. Without news of its release date, it’s time to look for small nuances to know new details of the Obsidian RPG .

The Outer Worlds is coming to Xbox and PC, no release date yetAnd as usual, job offers are a reef for this type of matter. One of them published on the studio’s website suggests that The Outer Worlds 2 is being developed under the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine . The logical step for the vast majority of games in the coming months, but it is still interesting, since it is a system that is still taking its first steps and that we have not yet seen in action as it deserves in AAA titles like the one that occupies us.

This has been echoed by Klobrille , an insider specialized in Xbox, who has realized that in the position of technical artist to work on the project, they mention Unreal Engine 5 as one of the extras that the candidate must handle to qualify to the post. They require “knowledge of the Unreal Engine and understanding of the new features included in UE5”.

At the moment, this information is not official, so we would have to wait for Obsidien to give new details of the technical plan of the game; although it fits perfectly in the intentions and in the evolution of the sector itself . Do not forget that in addition to the aforementioned The Outer Worlds 2, the studio is also working on Avowed, another medieval RPG that we are also waiting for information about.

We remember that you can join Xbox Game Pass by paying only one euro for the first month to access a library with hundreds of games at no additional cost.
