Obsidian’s space-y RPGThe Outer Worldshas called up its second and final story expansion called Murder On Eridanos. With that title, I’m sure you know how this goes. There’s a body. You’re a protagonist. One way or another you’re about to be in charge of figuring out who went and turned a space celebrity into a space corpse. Murder On Eridanos is out today for all your spacers looking to dig into more sci-fi corporate crimes.

“Everyone is a suspect in this peculiar whodunit after Rizzo’s hired spokesperson, the famous Halcyon Helen, winds up dead ahead of the release of the brand-new Spectrum Brown Vodka,” Obsidian say. “Alongside your companions, travel across the floating islands of Eridanos and piece together clues using the Discrepancy Amplifier, a new gadget that highlights otherwise unseen hints.”

You can see the new doodad up there in the trailer, “a semi-sentient device that shows the anomalies and inconsistencies of a crime scene.” Semi-sentient sure sounds to me like prone to having an opinion.

Apparently some expansion pass owners were a bit confused about how to access the DLC via various storefronts, which may be a bit too thematically appropriate, but the publishers have explained itin a post. You can spot a few other details and bug fixes in Obsidian’spatch notes.
