Obsidian really let the world down but it was always dwindling returns with them to begin with.

In Jan 2023 I have notice a large migration of TOW2's narrative team (Mhoon, Stone and Stark) and contect director (Brian Heins) to other ventures in Obsidian and beyond (Stark moved to Activision (Nov 2022) and Heins to Archetype Entertainment (Feb 2023)), Mhoon relocated to staff II in Jan 2023, Stone deleted TOW2 from her twitter bio, but still listed herself as an obsidian narrative designer.

The Avellone take: this is probably nothing, but he doesn't know anything for certain. https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/1633592147474804737

It could just be that Avowed is ramping up and TOW2 is ramping down, artists tend to be the first to be able to leave a project unless they're required to fix optimization bugs.

But to clarify, I don't really know, and speculation is just, well, speculation on my part.

He did express surprise that Heins is gone though:
Wow on Heins. Thought he was a lifer. Interesting.

I hope one day Scorsese makes a Wolf of Silicon Valley about Feargus, worlds best salesman. Dude probably swims butt naked in gold coins, Scrouge McDuck style, while the company he sold has nothing to show after 5 years except some fake trailers with fake gameplay.
