Good news for fans of Avowed and The Outer Worlds: Obsidian Entertainment isn’t going anywhere. Despite rumors of potential closures amid Xbox’s big shakeup, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has confirmed that Obsidian is safe, putting those fears to rest.
Amidst Microsoft’s massive overhaul of its gaming division, a lot of studios, like Undead Labs and Double Fine, were rumored to be at risk. But Schreier assures us that Obsidian isn’t negotiating for survival. This comes as a relief, especially with Xbox’s recent internal memo causing waves, hinting at major changes due to financial pressures. If you’re curious about what else is going on with Xbox, check out how they’re speeding up Fallout development, or the potential impact of Xbox layoffs on other studios.
While Obsidian’s next big move remains under wraps, there’s chatter about a possible new Fallout game. Josh Sawyer, the director behind Fallout: New Vegas, mentioned that decisions like these are made way above his pay grade, but who knows? We might see Obsidian dive back into the wasteland. Meanwhile, keep an eye on Xbox’s evolving strategy and how it might affect your favorite games.
