Abstract
Several extrasolar planets located more than ~10 AU from their host stars have been recently discovered using direct imaging techniques. I will present the latest information concerning these outer extrasolar planets, including efforts to characterize the Fomalhaut and HR 8799 planetary systems. I will also review major observing campaigns planned for the next few years that will increase this sample by at least a factor of ten.
