ObsidianEntertainmentis a highly regarded developer among fans of RPGs. Founded in 2003, the company has gone on to create some incredibly well-received games, such asFallout: New Vegas, which even over a decade after its release is regarded as one of if not thebest entry in theFalloutfranchise. Obsidian has made some other acclaimed titles sinceFallout: New Vegas, with its most recent release beingGrounded, an interesting title clearly inspired byHoney I Shrunk the Kids.
In short, Obsidian is a studio that many gamers enthusiastically watch to see what it will come up with next. Now, it seems that Obsidian isn’t far away from a new reveal, as an employee has posted a tweet that could be teasing a new game from the company. The tweet is from a concept artist working atObsidian, who said that it will “be extremely cool when I can finally share what I’ve been working on for the last 2 years.” This was then followed by a reply from Studio Design Director Josh Sawyer, who posted a “prayer” emoji.

Given that the concept artist who posted the initial tweet had worked onThe Outer Worlds, it is possible they could bereferencingThe Outer Worlds 2. However, when that game was first revealed, Obsidian made sure to dial back fan expectations by saying that it was nowhere near ready for a release or even gameplay reveal. There are plenty of other projects that Obsidian could be working towards showing fans, too.
Pentinent, for example, is a game that had some details leaked in 2021, and could make for a fitting announcement this year.Pentinentis said to be heavily inspired byDisco Elysium, and will feature the player essentially working as a detective to solve a mystery. There is alsoAvowed, a new fantasy-RPG in the works from Obsidian set in the same universe as thePillars of Eternitygames, which was revealed last year and could be ready to show off another trailer or even gameplay.
It seems highly likely that no matter what Obsidian does decide to show, that the display will take place atXbox and Bethesda’s showcase later in June. Considering Obsidian is a part of Xbox Game Studios, it would make sense for the developer to reveal its new game at its parent company’s showing. Considering Obsidian’s reputation, too, its new game would certainly bolster the weight of the reveals at the Xbox and Bethesda showcase.
