- Создатели The Outer Worlds 2 изменили баланс черного юмора и мрачности после ухода содиректора оригинала - 8 September 2026
После выхода ролевой игры The Outer Worlds 2 многие игроки обратили внимание на заметное похолодание общей атмосферы по сравнению с приключением 2019 года. Креативный директор студии Obsidian Entertainment Леонард Боярский подтвердил, что осознанно скорректировал пропорции черного юмора и меланхолии в сиквеле. Разработчик, отдавший этой научно-фантастической вселенной без малого 10 лет своей карьеры начиная с 2016 года, подробно рассказал о причинах решительного отказа от легкомысленного тона первой части. Ключевым фактором прежнего настроения серии выступало постоянное творческое соперничество создателей оригинального Fallout. Во время производства первой части Тим Кейн занимал пост содиректора и непрерывно привносил в проект чистый абсурдизм, гротеск и дурашливость. Сам Леонард Боярский традиционно тяготел к злой сатире и беспросветному черному юмору. Создатели регулярно спорили и нам…

- Obsidian still have "the same DNA" that went into New Vegas and KOTOR 2, The Outer Worlds 2 director insists, following chatter around layoffs - 13 July 2026
Last week, Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 developers Obsidian lost around quarter of their staff to Microsoft's mass layoffs. The studio were subsequently reported to be pivoting to start work on a new Fallout game helmed by New Vegas director Josh Sawyer, with a sequel to Avowed all but canned in the process. Cue, naturally, people like me discussing what sort of game the shift towards a new Fallout all these years after New Vegas could result in, and also some voices declaring that Obsidian just aren't as good as they used to be. Outer Worlds 2 director Brandon Adler, naturally, disagrees with the latter group of loudmouths. Read more

"The pit outside of the entrance to Algid Menagerie will now always kill the player as intended". "NPCs should no longer moonwalk, despite being in space". Read more
