“If you’ve played the game, you might be wondering how. ”
Outer Wilds developer Mobius has officially confirmed Echoes of the Eye, the game’s “first and only expansion” which will arrive on September 28 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
The story of this new chapter, revealed as part of tonight’s Annapurna Interactive showcase, remains largely a mystery.
“It’s going to weave right into the existing world and storytelling,” teased Creative Director Alex Beachum. “Now if you’ve played the game you might be wondering how. And also why. And those are very good questions.”
Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye – Reveal the trailer.
In April, fans spotted an unannounced Outer Wilds add-on named Echoes of the Eye on the Steam backend. Soon after, Annapurna picked up the speculation and retweeted it, complete with a playful-eyed emoji.
As I wrote at the time, this expansion is probably about the Eye of the Universe – a spoiler item in the Outer Wilds that we won’t go into here. Suffice it to say, any story focused on this will likely expand on the bigger mysteries set up by the main game.
Originally released in May 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, Outer Wilds has won awards for its narrative design. Eurogamer’s Outer Wilds review praised the game, before we ended up naming it our 2019 Game of the Year.
Finally, today we got an update on the work in progress to bring Outer Wilds to Nintendo Switch. Expect this to happen during this “holiday season”.
