Murder on Eridanos comes to The Outer Worlds on Switch next week
Overnight Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division revealed that the second expansion for The Outer Worlds, Murder on Eridanos will land on Switch on September 9, at least for us.
Murder on Eridanos adds an enticing interstellar whodunit for players to solve. Rizzo’s spokesperson, Halcyon Helen, has been discovered dead and it’s up to you to untangle this web of mystery, deceit, and secrecy. You’ll have to uncover crime scene clues and unlock different quest routes with a brand-new gadget, the Discrepancy Amplifier, and track down a plethora of suspects with larger-than-life personalities.
Murder on Eridanos also raises the level cap by 3, adds new science weapons, armour sets as well as more skill customization options.
In addition to this upcoming release, Nintendo Switch players will find patch 1.5 available. Please note that after you install this patch, you will see an image on the home screen informing you that the Murder on Eridanos is available. This image will not be able to be interacted with until the expansion releases on September 8th, 2021. We thank you for your understanding and for your patience while we wait for the boarding ships to Eridanos to open.
