It looks like developer Obsidian Entertainment has another unannounced project in the works. Developer of the upcoming ‘The Outer World’ sequel and the other first-person role-playing game ‘Avowed’, we got a hint of something new coming thanks to eagle eyes catching this on the company’s newly hired Art Director’s LinkedIn:
Per Daniel Cabuco’s LinkedIn, he’s joined the company as a full-time Art Director around a week ago. Now of course, there’s nothing else here. No images or any sort of sneak previews here and, obviously, a game company is going to make games for as long as their around. But hey! Two games in the works and with another in the backdrop, Obsidian’s not letting up.
While we wait for this project to be announced (or never, game development is a rollercoaster ride), check out what is coming out below:
Welcome to the Living Lands, a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger. Set in the fictional world of Eora that was first introduced to players in the Pillars of Eternity franchise, Avowed is a first-person fantasy action RPG from the award-winning team at Obsidian Entertainment. You are the envoy of Aedyr, a distant land, sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague throughout the Living Lands – an island full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences, and untamed wilderness.
You discover a personal connection to the Living Lands and an ancient secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save this unknown frontier and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them asunder? The Weird and Wonderful Living Lands The Living Lands is a place that feels foreign yet somewhat intrinsic to you as it feels the island itself is calling out to you for help. Explore an island home to many different environments and landscapes, each with their own unique ecosystem.
