Take-Two’s Financial Report Narrows Timeframe For ‘Disintegration’ Release, Switch Version of ‘The Outer Worlds’

Switch users now have a better idea of just when Private Division and Obsidian Entertainment’s The Outer Worlds will be released, thanks to the latest financial report for Q2 2019 by Take-Two Interactive. In addition to that, we now have a better idea of when first-person shooter Disintegration will arrive (since we never got one when the game was first revealed back at Gamescom).

According to the report, which paints “positive momentum continued in the second quarter,” has The Outer Worlds headed to the Nintendo Switch “in calendar 2020, during our fiscal year 2020.” What that means is that the game would be released sometime before March 31, 2020, since the fiscal year for the video game industry starts in April. Not exactly the most narrow, but it at least gives you the idea of when to start looking.

As for Disintegration, the game will “launch digitally for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in calendar 2020, during our fiscal year 2021.” That would put it between April and December 2020. Again, it’s not the most narrow of estimates, but what can you do?

Another interesting point is the line from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who states that “Take-Two has the strongest development pipeline in its history, including sequels from our biggest franchises as well as exciting new IP.” One such franchise that’s rumoured to be having a new entry being worked on is BioShock, which has reportedly been in development for a couple of years now under the codename of Parkside. It’s nothing official, and we haven’t heard anything about BioShock since, well, BioShock Infinite, but Take-Two would be foolish to not want to give fans another entry in the series.
