This is getting a little silly, isn't it? Why can't they just tell us? Why this torment?

The splash screen has been updated, and so has the "hidden" page source text.

I recognize your pain. Your kind must learn it comes from straining against the turning of the world. It spins thus. You cannot stop it. One day, you will wake up. You will stop pulling. The pain will be gone. Until then, all your waking hours are suffering.

<!-- In time, waves washing against the fingers of Geiran's Grasp will call them back into the sea. The difference between you and the sea is that the sea does not stop. -->​

Josh Sawyer also posted this picture on Twitter. Notice the snake thing poster. It's an anagram!

Update
There's a relatively new profile for Obsidian on Kickstarter (created in August).

Obsidian Entertainment is a game development studio located in Irvine, CA. We were founded in 2003 with many former Black Isle Studios employees dedicated to producing high-quality role-playing games. We're most known for games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Prior to Obsidian, each of the owners worked for Black Isle Studios as production, design, management, and programming staff, having worked on the Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment series.

We loved working on those games, and feel there's a real nostalgia for them, and we're looking to you for help to bring them back!​

The anagram can also be transleted as "one pro here". So the .X.XX.XX stuff looks like is Eternity afterall, and not a date. Friday can't come soon enough.

OMG YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING!!

 

[Zed]

Hihihihi.

I'm making an effort not being onto something. So it would be funny if I was.

 

[godsend1989]

I hope it doesnt last forever to release.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

No hoper 'ere

 

[St. Toxic]

No e-pro here. He's just sad because he's fallen behind the times, I'm with ya bro. Who knows what kids are up to these days.

 

[MicoSelva]

Kickstarter profile, huh? The mystery thickens.

 

[Stauff]

This all makes perfect sense if you just compare snake symbol with White wolf IP - world of darkness which absolutely relates to all this text jibberish. Given that Tim Cain is on board, Vampires are on the rise - that's masquerade time!

 

[Roguey]

I am quite pissed over how they cheated by counting y as a consonant instead of a vowel.

having worked on the Baldur's Gate,

Taking credit for Bioware, how low.

 

[godsend1989]

another masquerade ?

 

[deuxhero]

It's not an anagram (or at least not a solvable one) you idiots.

Notice the L cut off? That isn't all the text. Also note the things holding it up show that isn't anywhere near the paper's end..

 

[Infinitron]

No shit, genius. I think it's "NO SLEEP FOR THE COURIER".

 

[deuxhero]

It works, but why start the "no" on the right side?

 

[Roderick]

No shit, genius. I think it's "NO SLEEP FOR THE COURIER".

So New Vegas 2 but instead of the Legion (or besides the Legion) there will be mystical Celts?

 

[Stinger]

I'm inclined to think the puzzle might be a snake cipher, based on a post made on the Obsidian forums. You know, cause the Ouroborous has a snake in it. So I think we start from the symbol and read right to left, then go down to line 2 and read left to right then down to line 3 and right to left etc.

Post the full darn image Mr Sawyer

It works, but why start the "no" on the right side?

because it might be right aligned?
the anagram thing was a joke but I guess it wasn't a good one.

Or taken in a mirror?

LOL wtf is this? Obsidian is failing at clever enticement with these ridiculous musings. Just announce the goddamned project so we can speculate by Codexian Standards .

Fixed.

 

[Brayko]

Why yes, that last bit was a touch of satire on my part.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Really looks like Wheel of Time, which is how about everything is cyclical.

Well, this is obviously directed at us. And it means that the game will be consoleshit popamole, as this is the natural turn of things. Until we accept it, we'll only suffer. Because we cannot have nice things.

Whoa. This is Heavy. Warhammer 40K RPG from Obsidian? Am I dreaming? Seriously, this all makes sense. The logo is very similar, the name Godhammer is mentioned in both places. Kill the heretics!

Also, the WH40K licenc is now at THQ, and Obsidian have a good relationship with them since they make the South Park RPG together.
