Perils on Gorgon is coming to The Outer Worlds on Switch next week

After releasing last year for the other platforms, Obsidian have announced that Perils on Gorgon, the first of two expansion for The Outer Worlds will arrive on Switch on February 10/11. The trailer below is from the release last year, but should give you a sense of what to expect.

In order for players to be able to enjoy the new content, a patch will be released that will add the function to the game, but more importantly, it will address two issues on the Switch version.

• Adjust level GC strategy

• Adjust texture streaming strategy

While neither on their own sounds that exciting the second one is perhaps the more impressive, as if they can make the texture streaming better, then things might load in smoother, or even earlier, we will have to wait for the patch to make sure.

There is a lot of things included in this expansion, you can find the list of what below.

• Intrigue and danger: Search an abandoned Spacer’s Choice facility and encounter a cast of new characters as you uncover the mystery behind the sudden cancellation of the Gorgon Project.

• New locations: Explore the treacherous canyons of the Gorgon Asteroid and encounter enemies that have been warped by science.

• More science weapons: Discover three outlandish new science weapons, including the P.E.T. (Pest Extermination Tool), an exciting new melee weapon that draws in enemies for close-range attacks.

• Expanded character customization and lore: An increased level cap, additional perks and flaws, wholly new armour sets, and several variants for existing gear. Plus, dig into the story of the Gorgon Asteroid with new Portable Phonograph audio logs that reveal the salacious secrets of a scientific experiment gone wrong.

You will be able to buy the DLC on its own, or via the season pass, though pricing is not yet known, it should be along the lines of the other platforms though.
