That being said, this old dog can learn new tricks, so long as those tricks involve Obsidian announcing new games, which is precisely what is in store for us next week.
Speculation in the Twitter thread has mostly been vain hopes for a Fallout or Star Wars game, but something tells me that ain’t it. OneTwitter user did pointout that Isaac Asimov had multiple stories that focused on a group of space-faring Earthlings called “Spacers.” With Asimov’sFoundationseries getting an adaptation for Apple’s yet-to-be-released streaming service, I could see this as a one-two punch from the Asimov estate to strike while the science-fiction iron is hot.
Another aspect that should be noted is that we are still waiting to hear whatFalloutcreator Tim Cain andFalloutlead artist Leonard Boyarsky have been working on at Obsidian for the past year or so. All we know so far is that it’s calledProject Indiana, so maybe this is the big reveal of what those two have in store. Who knows? This is all speculation at this point so your guess is as good as mine.
We do know that the game will be an RPG, which shouldn’t come as a surprise, and that it will be published by Private Division. Private Division is a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive that aims to publish smaller, more niche games such asKerbal Space Program. No word yet on how the recent acquisition of Obsidian by Microsoft will play into this but this might be Obsidian’s last game that PlayStation users may see for a while.
The Game Awards will stream live next Thursday, December 6 at 9:00 PM Eastern on a multitude of streaming platforms.
