    Hell, probably.
    Is there a post anywhere that has compiled all the information currently known about this unannounced game?

    I'd love to see a company make a Source 2 engine RPG but isn't Obsidian using Unreal 4 for whatever this is?

    Grab the Codex by the pussy Serpent in the Staglands Dead State Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Kingmaker
    :hmmm:

    Mojomancer We don't really know anything about the game other than it's a new IP multiplatform action-RPG by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. Just wait for it to be announced.

    Maybe Obsidian is the developer and Dark Rock aka DRIL is the publisher


    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Doubt it. Gaben said in August that releasing it isn't a priority, they're gonna keep working on a couple internal projects before it's ready for release.

    If that is the case then it'll be interesting to see what game (if any) they release along with it.

    What if it becomes a development mess and the publisher cancels it? :negative:

    Maybe Boyarsky earned too much moneh from Blizzard since 2006 and is acting as the publisher.

    Fair enough, but the fact that it was Paradox who was behind the studio tour invite suggests either it WAS a weird, backward way of getting media hype because Bastard's Wound was releasing or that Paradox is the publisher of whatever the still-unnanounced new title is.

    Seems a bit expensive to fly "journos" out to Cali from Europe and then pay for their accommodation in California just to promote an expansion for a side project game.

    Agreed, which is why I think it's more likely that paradox is publishing the unannounced project.

    The big news there was that paradox was the ones who invited them out.

    Wasn't he the guy who wrote Legion? I guess Roguey can clarify what exactly he contributed.
