There’s more to explore here
TheOuter Wildsare expanding this September. Today, Mobius Digital and Annapurna Interactive confirmed thatOuter Wilds: Echoes of the Eyearrives on Sept. 28, 2021.
Shown during today’sAnnapurna Interactive Showcase,Echoes of the Eyewill weave directly into the world and narrative ofOuter Wilds. As creative director Alex Beachum confirmed, it will also beOuter Wildsfirst, and only, expansion.
The cryptic trailer shown today started with the wonderfulOuter Wildstheme plucking away, before an eclipse slowly descended over the sun and lots of mysterious machinery and imagery appears. What could this mean? What mysteries lie in store for theEchoes of the Eye? The trailer simply says, “There’s more to explore here.”
Outer Wildsfirst launched in 2019 andquickly became an indie hit. The time-looping mystery of what was happening to the galaxy, and why, was really compelling to pick apart and piece back together. And yeah, mastering how to land the ship was an art all its own.
I’m really interested to see how this could tie back into the world ofOuter Wildsand all the mysteries it contains, but suffice to say, even some of the artifacts and monuments we see in the trailer have possibilities bouncing around in my brain.
Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eyewill be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via both the Epic Games Store and Steam. As for the long-awaited Nintendo Switch version, Beachum says the team looks forward to having it “in your hands this holiday season.”
