“It’s going really well,” Urquhart said of Outer Worlds 2.

I’m really impressed with the team."

“We had a really hard time at the studio during Covid,” Urquhart said.

There was talk of ‘well, should you do that?

‘, because Grounded wasn’t in Early Access yet during some of these conversations."

“We kind of said: no, we will get there,” Urquhart recalled.

“We will get there with all these games.

Are they going to be on the timelines that we originally thought?

But we’re going to get there and I think that’s been proven now.

“Grounded turned out awesome.

Pentiment turned out awesome.

Avowed is going to be great.

Outer Worlds 2 is looking incredible.

Hopefully, Outer Worlds 2 will bring it home.

Fingers crossed it sticks the landing as well.
