Xbox is pushing The Outer Worlds 2 as one of their biggest games, to the point that they priced it at $80. While the cost is annoying, fans who choose to play this RPG will probably enjoy the space adventure and make plenty of parallels to Fallout: New Vegas.
That said, gamers tired of the constant New Vegas references will be happy to know that the newer Deus Ex games were also major inspirations for The Outer Worlds 2.
Brandon Adler, the game’s Creative Director, spoke about the upcoming Xbox game, mentioning other titles that inspired it. Adler quickly pointed out the New Vegas comparisons and assumed fans were tired of that title getting referenced. The Creative Director then brings up Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, saying that he loves the gameplay of both titles.
Fans were pretty mixed on the newer Deus Ex games at launch because they didn’t offer as much freedom or choices when compared to the beloved PC titles in the 2000s. Over time, fans did accept that these newer titles were still good in their own right, with some decent narrative beats and story choices, but the franchise’s legacy cast a huge shadow over them.
Considering how The Outer Worlds 2 is also a first-person RPG with story choices, it’s easy to see why Adler made this reference. With Deus Ex not receiving a new entry for close to a decade, this Xbox game might be a decent alternative for fans. The first game was already well-liked, and we assume the devs at Obsidian will continue to bring their A-game to this title.
Obsidian has a great track record, and it continues to grow. We already talked about Fallout: New Vegas, but the original Outer Worlds and Avowed were decent hits for the company. If those games were their versions of Fallout and Skyrim, we’re interested in seeing what they do with their take on Deus Ex, even if it’s based on the newer titles.
That’s everything we know about The Outer Worlds 2 taking inspiration from Deus Ex.
