My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Is Tyranny dead? Just wondering because I've never played it, and if they won't make a sequel, it's not worth playing a game that supposedly ends in a cliff-hanger. I mean they made/ar making 3 sequels to PoE.

As 2house2fly said, I wouldn't say cliffhanger so much as just open for more. It's not like someone holds a knife to your throat and the credits come up, it's just that you solve this particular issue but the world state still is what it is. That's how I remember it, anyway.
It's been a very long while since my one pre-DLC playthrough, but what I vaguely remember was that so much of the game was about the potential for what you were doing in your small corner to invite reprisals from Supreme Leader (whatever his name was), and that was the setup that the game left you on. Lots of buildup that would've had to be paid off in a sequel where the hammer potentially comes crashing down.

Yeah something like that. Deus Ex: Mankind divided did a similar thing recently where you defeat the terrorist cell you were hunting but it hints like crazy about a bigger picture we'll probably never see. Though at least in that game I feel like the original Deus Ex does an okay job offering resolution.

Hehe, Josh tweeted this in reply to somebody and the media finally became aware of the existence of Project Missouri:

Codex Year of the Donut
Microsoft must have told him that he can work on his own historical RPG then locked him in the supply closet to stop him from sabotaging other games.

Is there really enough information in that one tweet to write articles about it?

The "non-violent" game that had 5 people working on it a while back. Could be historical but not his FYSMD/darklands.

Wait Michael Chu is back at Obsidian? What? Or is that just contract work?

OG Obsidian Crew right there.

His LinkedIn still has him as Lead Writer on Overwatch 2, but according to Twitter he left Blizzard in March. Seems like contract work while covid has stopped people from working normally, that and helping a friend.

Obsidian is still looking for a Narrative Designer, but with Chu's experience and working history he would be at a Lead level and that position got filled with Lucien Soulban

Yeah, it was indeed a short contract work. Chu joined 31st Union (2K's new AAA studio led by Sledgehammer Games co-founder) as Narrative Director.
