According to the blog post, the Obsidian spokesperson claims that: “We’ve always felt that a core component of Obsidian RPG’s is this element of putting you in control of the story. In Murder on Eridanos you remain in the driver seat of the narrative, but now you must solve who killed the renowned actress Halcyon Helen.”

Starks also gives more context to the DLC in the post noting that “the core of Murder on Eridanos is to solve a crime… and murder is just the beginning of what you will find. You will have to interrogate witnesses, learn about potential alibis, and argue who you believe is responsible.” 

They also detail how players will be able to meet iconic characters within The Outer Worlds universe. These include Spencer Woolrich, who previously appeared in movie posters in the game, and Black Hole Bertie, who is described as “one of the greatest players to ever grace the game”

The announcement also details plenty of other perks, new items, and new quests that await players in the upcoming DLC. For players who don’t already own the first expansion The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon, they are able to get both additional elements at a discounted price in The Outer Worlds DLC Expansion season pass.
