10 Hotly-Anticipated RPGs That Will Blow You Away In 2019

1. The Outer Worlds

Obsidian have always been one of the most fascinating and fan-adored RPG developers, but unfortunately those features haven't translated into financial success. Nearing the brink of closure a few times before, the studio has continued to deliver incredible titles despite never having the constant stability most other devs enjoy.

They've been bought up by Microsoft now (which should thankfully give them the resources they've sometimes lacked), but before they switch over to (presumably) making Xbox exclusives, The Outer Worlds will be their first AAA RPG since Fallout: New Vegas. Filling a hole in the market that's been tragically ignored, their latest plans on taking the core of what made that Fallout title arguably the best since Bethesda bought the license, and wrapping it up in Obsidian's new original world.

Despite being set in outer space, the RPG looks very much inspired by the retro-western style of New Vegas, only with a more pronounced sci-fi twist. Little is actually known about the game outside of a reveal trailer and release window, but Obsidian being back in a genre that's so sorely missed them is enough for The Outer Worlds to nab the number one spot on this list.
