Do you need to play The Outer Worlds 1 before The Outer Worlds 2? Here’s how the connections between RPGs look like

Obsidian Studio addressed the challenge of carrying over player choices from the first game by setting The Outer Worlds 2 in a new star system called Utopia. This sequel takes place hundreds of light-years away and features a completely separate story. While both games exist within the same universe, their narratives won’t connect. You won’t meet familiar characters from the original game, and your past decisions won’t have an impact. The sequel will provide all the necessary information, so prior knowledge of the first game isn’t required.
