Get Ready for The Outer Worlds 2 DLC: Side Effects Guaranteed!

Blast Off into Elysium Valley!

Hey there, fellow gamers! Are you ready to jump back into the wild universe of The Outer Worlds 2? Well, buckle up, because Side Effects Guaranteed, the first chapter of a two-part expansion, is launching on December 2nd! For just $14.99, you can snag this DLC and dive headfirst into a brand-new adventure. If you’ve got the Premium Edition or the Premium Edition Upgrade, you’re already in for a treat!

So, what can you expect from this stellar expansion? Your crew aboard the Incognito receives a distress signal that leads you to a derelict ship. But hold onto your controllers—things aren't as simple as they seem! The crew is stuck in suspended animation, infected with something that causes explosive cell death. Yikes! It’s up to you to hunt down a cure, which will take you to the newly introduced Elysium Valley. Just remember, the fate of the crew and Sub Rosa hangs in the balance!

As you navigate through Elysium Valley, you'll encounter some serious challenges, including vicious canids and gigantic sprats (think regular sprats but on an epic scale!). The level cap is getting a boost from 30 to 36, and you’ll get to choose from over 15 new perks to customize your character. Plus, there are four new flaws that can make your Commander even more interesting, giving you that classic RPG feel!

But wait, there’s more! The DLC also includes new gear, weapons, and outfits for your companions to deck them out in style. And if you’re a music lover, you’ll enjoy the new Sub Rosa-run radio station featuring 20 fresh tracks to jam out to while you explore. If you’re itching to jump right into the action, there’s even an alternate start option that allows you to skip straight to the DLC from the main menu.

So gear up, space explorers! Side Effects Guaranteed is poised to deliver an unforgettable experience filled with choices that will shape your adventure in ways that only a true RPG can. Mark your calendars for December 2nd and get ready to save the day (or not)—the cosmos awaits!
