The title is 'The Outer Worlds'. Amusingly, a game called 'Outer Wilds' was actually announced today.

The Outer Worlds - 15 Minutes of Gameplay

- Start date
I can see myself RP'ing as a Zapp Brannigan style space idiot already.
Yeah I watched that too and I knew I'd get the two confused at some point lol
Man watching this and knowing this is just the begining of their future? We are about to be spoiled.
I mean that's nice, but I want to see my character doing stuff, even if it is reacting to things in dialogue/cutscenes.
There could be a sequel just under a new IP name ;) Just like this is a sequel to Fallout but without the Fallout name
Never played Fallout New vegas, but this looks like a good Not!Fallout to give competition to Bethesda and actually get them off their asses. Just having UE4 as the engine shows how far they could push their visuals in just 2 years while Bethesda just looks dumb
Game looks MORE fun than freaking Fallout 4 and love the FO series. Commentators ruined the damn video tho.
Yeah this is officially one of my most anticipated games right now. Fallout NV + Mass Effect + Bioshock = Something I need in my veins this minute.
EDIT: Kinda Off Topic, but I was looking at Obsidian's wiki page and...They were working with Disney at one point creating a video game prequel to Snow White?!?!
What the what? I wanna see that!

I think that's a valid argument, but when it comes to cinematic RPGs I believe voiced protagonist fit the, much better. The KoTOR games (one of them made by Obisidiam themselves) for example, would benefit from that. It's no wonder Bioware added it to Mass Effect. And so did Obisidian in Alpha Protocol. Although I wouldn't take a voiced protagonist if it meant restricted character creation.
I dare say the choice in this game has more to do with budget than a creative decision. This game does look it didn't have that much money in it. Which obviously doesn't mean it will compromise its quality.
It was not until his conversation with Porter near the end of the video where my brain finally registered that the protagonist never holsters his gun. It looks a little off to see that stiff arm constantly outstretched with a pistol pointing at someone even if it's a friendly NPC. A minor quibble, mind you. The faces remind me of New Vegas and last-gen Mass Effect games too, but I can easily forgive them as they're probably not working on a near-unlimited budget like Rockstar. I'm loving the character designs though, Ellie in particular.
I'm very excited. This came out of nowhere for me and I'm rarely ever this pleasantly surprised by an announcement.

Can the Game Informer guys like...stop talking? They are doing a terrible job commentating this.
I'd rather a game do a certain range of things very well than do a large range of things very poorly. Making an open world space game even in a two planet system requires a significant investment, especially on a AA budget.
Might be, it's kind of hard to tell with colors blending together. Either way I'm still looking forward to the game.
I dunno man, I see an arm pretty clearly. Just seem like the glove opening is way bigger than it needs to be
The deal was made before MS bought them. And Spencer said he doesnt want to come between that.
Same happened with We Happy Few and Ninja Theory their VR game.
Microsoft is not going to break committed contracts that were made before the acquisition. Compulsion Games (We Happy Few), Ninja Theory (Hellblade), InXile (Wasteland 3), and Obsidian (Outer Worlds) are all examples of this. InXile will also be releasing Wastelands 3 next year for PS4, Xbox, and PC. Once those obligations are finished Microsoft will take care of future publishing.
Im actually surprised this question seems to pop up so much on a website such as this. It isnt that hard to figure out and its been repeated countless times.
I'm surprised at how polished it looks for an Obsidian game, but then again, in development for over 2 years? Has to be a record for them given how they always have to rush stuff out for big publishers. Lol. The combat actually looks way more Alpha Protocol inspired rather than Fallout New Vegas, which makes it exciting for me. Always hoped that they would build on that and get closer to what Bioware almost perfected in Mass Effect 2.
You know Microsoft owns Minecraft too right? :)
so if The Outer Worlds is successful, and becomes a franchise how will that work? Will Private Division license Bethesda to make the sequel? I can't imagine MS would be interested in continuing the franchise.
:Edit: Changed the publisher, the rumors said 2k so I assumed the publisher was 2k.

This has been commented on so much, and people should really read. Obsidian owns the title. Private Division can not make Outer Worlds without Obsidian. Private Division has first right to refusal for publishing future titles, which wont happen as Microsoft will be publishing future Obsidian games. This will either be a one off, or Microsoft will make a deal to publish future games in this franchise. If Private Divisions wanted to continue this as a franchise under a different developer, they would have to pay Obsidian/Microsoft.
For right now we should be focusing on this title, as we dont even know if it will have a sequel. Its not even out yet.
