Obsidian Entertainment is Working on a Secret Next-Level RPG | Next Obsidian Game (2020)
121Obsidian Entertainment has gained a lot of fan faith as a company over the last few years. With new releases from Bethesda like Fallout 76 floundering and failing to gain the commercial or critical success of Skyrim, many fans have been turning to Obsidian’s Avowed in hopes that it will provide the first-person fantasy RPG experience they’ve been craving.
However, Avowed isn’t the only big project that Obsidian is currently working on. The developer is pulling no punches as gaming enters the next generation of console hardware, and the fact that Obsidian is working on another huge project alongside Avowed isn’t just mind-blowing but has interesting implications for the studio’s development process.
Obsidian Entertainment’s studio design director, Josh Sawyer has stated that he is directing his “own project” at the studio at the same time as the studio is working on Avowed. Obsidian has already found success this year with smaller teams working on their own projects; for example, Grounded hit one million players within 48 hours of its release, despite having a team of just 12 developers.
Allowing developers to form small teams to work on passion projects not only allows them more freedom within those projects as the studio focuses primarily on games like Avowed, but the smaller scale of games like Grounded has proven to be more successful than games like Fallout 76 which felt spread thin.
Studio head Feargus Urquhart has joked that the studio has more than one game currently in development and less than forty. More definitive proof that the secret project is making progress comes from Grounded’s Adam Brennecke, who has stated that Obsidian currently has several “big RPGs” in the pipeline.
This could mean that the secret project is another big RPG. It is possible that the team is able to work on a large secondary project because it is a sequel to an already established IP, possibly The Outer Worlds 2. However, Grounded demonstrates the studio’s willingness to let these smaller teams work on entirely new IPs, which means the possibilities for this secret Obsidian project are fascinatingly broad.
Let's analyze it.
