Published in 2019, The outer worlds had known how to seduce more than one player. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Private Division, several landing noises heralded the arrival of a sequel. A few days ago the call to shareholders for the results of the fourth quarter of the year was held. Several important pieces of information were conveyed.
So we could learn through Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, announced that the title has sold more than three million times. Karl SlatoffTake Two’s president also spoke about the company looking forward to the future of the license, but also excited to be a part of it.
And we will be a part of the franchise and what the future holds for that franchise. We feel really good about it. We believe the audience continues to grow and the game itself still has a lot of vitality ahead of it. And in the future we will see what the future brings. But we think the franchise is long term and we are certainly happy with the results.
Following Microsoft’s acquisition of Obsidian in 2018, Slatoff’s comments seem to relate to maintaining publishing rights for future iterations of the franchise. However, it doesn’t seem to be. Indeed, Private Division helped to clear up the situation Gamasutra by claiming that Microsoft and Obsidian are responsible for editing the next few episodes.
Private Division continues to support and market The Outer Worlds, particularly with the upcoming release of the Murder DLC on Eridan on Nintendo Switch. Obsidian and Microsoft will be releasing future iterations of the franchise in the future, and we’re absolutely excited to see where they take it.
