The Art Of The Outer Worlds 2 launches December 16

See How The Outer Worlds 2's Art Style Was Created With This New Art Book

The Outer Worlds 2 launches in October, and if the recent deep dive into Obsidian Entertainment's sci-fi shooter is any indication, it's shaping up to be a good-looking game. The first Outer Worlds game established an eye-catching futuristic aesthetic with Art Deco influences and satirical twists on capitalism, consumerism, and corporate culture, and the sequel looks to amplify those elements. Anyone looking to explore The Outer Worlds 2's visual direction can preorder the upcoming The Art of The Outer Worlds 2 hardcover art book for $54.59 ahead of its release on December 16.

Published by Dark Horse Books--the company behind several other impressive video game art books--this book is a stylish 208-page look at how Obsidian Entertainment designed the sequel to The Outer Worlds. Inside, you'll find hundreds of illustrations detailing the creation of new worlds, weapons, and characters, all accompanied by creator commentary for that extra layer of insight. There's also plenty of never-before-seen designs, concept art, and pages on character development.
