"Making interactive experiences with real actors on the screen is something we've always talked about," AdHoc Chief Creative Officer Pierre Shorette said. "We all have backgrounds and interest in film and television, so combining that with our experience in games is something we're exploring right now."

The Outer Worlds Won’t Be As Long as Some People Think
The Outer Worlds, developed by Knights of the Old Republic II and Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment, won’t be nearly as long as some fans are hypothesizing.
In an interview with GameInformer, co-directors Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky discuss fan expectations for the game, and while they strongly feel it’s an awesome game fans will want to play, they want people to know it’s more of a “reactive RPG” than a sprawling open-world.
