Once again, these are illustrated by Mobius Digital artist Ian Jacobson. They’re available individually or as a set.Each poster measures 21 x 29cm, or 8.2 x 11.4 inchesAnd each are signed by Ian. Get them here:https://www.cookandbecker.com/en/catalog/videogame/outer-wilds Thank you to all who’ve requested these posters. We love hearing your ideas. Keep them coming. But to the person who asked us to “recreate timber hearth 1:1 scale in the proxima centauri system”, as seen here: It pains us to say “temper your expectations.” Thanks again for being a fan.

If you love No Man's Sky, this life-changing single-player space game is now cheaper than ever
There are a few games that I wish I could play for the first time again. Kingdom Hearts 2, Subnautica, and Minecraft, to name a few, but if I had a Neuralizer from Men in Black, I'd wipe my memory of Outer Wilds. As a fan of the best space games and someone who loves a good ol' time-looping adventure, I admire the mechanical brilliance of Outer Wilds, but the narrative alone makes it a big enough reason to buy this game, and right now it's down to its cheapest price ever.

Outer Wilds studio finally confirms it's working on a new game but says it will be 'years' before it's ready to share details
Six years after the release of the most excellent sci-fi camping game Outer Wilds, developer Mobius Digital is working on something new, a fact it let slip in a recently-released update—which is also the final "major update" planned for the game.0...

Outer Wilds developer Mobius Digital confirms its next game is in the works
When you think of the greatest space games, it's easy to default to scale. The thousands of planets of Starfield, the infinite galaxies of No Man's Sky, the swirling systems of Eve Online, and the sheer expanse of Elite Dangerous. Outer Wilds is different. It's smaller, tighter, meticulously designed down to the smallest grain of sand. Yet despite that, or perhaps because of it, developer Mobius Digital created the most enrapturing and memorable game about interstellar exploration ever made. Now, the team confirms that it's hard at work on something new. Read the rest of the story...

Outer Wilds Patch 16 is Now Available
Patch 16 Changes (Steam only, other platforms coming soon): This minor patch is now out on Steam only, but will be brought to all other platforms except Nintendo Switch in late May. If you’re not on Steam, don’t worry, you’re not missing out! This is a minor patch mainly for adding a couple folks to the credits and fixing two PC-only bugs: clicking out of the game disabling certain inputs (such as the key for the ship’s lock on), which affected streamers in particular, and diagonal movement being faster than normal with mouse and keyboard. Why stagger the releases like this? It’s to increase the chance that, if any bad bugs on Steam slipped through testing, they’ll get caught and fixed before the release of the other platforms. This is no shade to our QA testers, we’re just trying to be extra risk averse and conservative with the resources we put toward Outer Wilds since our new game is our priority! This is also why we’re not bringing the patch to the Switch for the time being: it’s a risky platform for us to touch and the most important of these bug fixes don’t even apply to the Switch. We plan to reconsider once we decide if we’re going to bring Outer Wilds to Switch 2. Once we put out Patch 16 on Epic, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC Windows Store, we’ll make a note of it here and on our socials.
