<p>In an <a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2011/03/02/obsidian-entertainment-chipping-away-at-two-original-rpgs-one-licensed-game/" target="_blank">interview with Silicon Era</a>, Feargus revealed that <strong>Obsidian</strong> is working on one licensed title and is making a go at two original titles.</p>
<blockquote>"We are working on another licensed property right now, that has not been announced," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment. "But, it&rsquo;s a licensed property when we do announce it everyone is going to go &lsquo;well, of course you had to make that game.&rsquo;"</blockquote>
<blockquote>"We do have two other games we are proposing right now," Urquhart revealed to Siliconera. "One that we already got to a prototype stage and both are properties we&rsquo;ve come up with ourselves."</blockquote>
<p>The article mentions that the licensed title might be the <a href="http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=40953" target="_blank">Wheel of Time project</a>, but that doesn't sound right considering WoT was previously announced. I predict <strong>Torn II: The UnCancelling</strong>.<br /><br /><em>Thanks to Jaesun for pointing this out</em></p>

Dragon Age 3: Now a Real Role Playing Game?

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Did the Icewind Dale thing blow over? If not, that seems likely.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Icewind Dale 3?

 

[curry]

Icewind Dale 3?

This is the licensed game.

Did the Icewind Dale thing blow over? If not, that seems likely.

Was under the impression that was something they recently started talking about, rather than something in development. I could be wrong.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Still waiting for that high school rpg, Chris.

 

[Cynic]

Icewind Dale 3?

This is the licensed game.

really hope this is true. Also really hope the Onyx engine is used for this.

 

[WetWorks]

BG 3?

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Better BG3 than IWD3, they've already exceeded their H&S quota with DS3.

If I was a wide-eyed little girl full of hope and dreams I'd wish for the license project to be a V:TM game.

If the little girl was a bit of a whore she'd tell uncle Feargus it could suck money out of the twilight/trueblood fangirls.

[Jaesun]

If they got the TORN licence... oh man. I think I just came in my pants.

 

[Marquess Cornwallis]

Much as I'd love to see the Black Hound, Torn or a new V:tM game, I'd say the licensed projects sounds more like something along the lines of a (standalone?) Skyrim expansion.

 

[turn_based_fanboy]

Big license could be Game of Thrones RPG as there's a lot of stuff planned for this IP in 2011-12
7th tome of book in July
RTS game
tv series

but much safer bet's would be ICD3 or BG3

or some IP from SE/Eidos stable as they seem to have good terms with them for now.

If they got the TORN licence... oh man. I think I just came in my pants.

I will not give in to those ridiculous fallacies, impossible dreams and futile hopes. never.


(MUST... STOP... FAPPING...)

 

[Xor]

Another Fallout game, Baldur's Gate 3, NWN3, IWD 3, or maybe KOTOR3 are my guesses.


Edit: Actually, The Neverwinter Nights trademark was just renewed by WotC last year...

 

[sick]

actually, new NWN title is already in development by Cryptic

[Exmit]

Torment 2

The nature of a man has changed...

 

[jiujitsu]

There can't be a PS:T 2. It would be too hard to live up to the original.

 

[Dantus12]

Well I can't remember where I got it from but I think one is a XBLA title and the second somehow new IP , but is being only presented in it's prototyped form to possible publishers is some fantasy title called Defiance .

Then there is the licensed IP, so waiting for E3 I guess.

 

[Melcar]

It will probably be some stupidly retarded shit, and we will all cry and moan about it in a few months.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Arcanum 2

 

[sgc_meltdown]

A Hostile Space RPG Involving Aliens. Acid spitting aliens.

 

[Spectacle]

It will probably be some stupidly retarded shit, and it will still be the closest thing to a real RPG we get that year.

Fixed

 

[RPGMaster]

AVATAR RPG.

Get read to screw blue furries. Even CA won't deny you that.
