It seems that Obsidian Entertainment is keeping very busy. The Microsoft-owned studio is already working on Avowed and Outer Worlds 2; however, a LinkedIn post revealed that a third unannounced game is also in the works.

Why it matters: Obsidian is one of the finest Xbox first-party teams. With games like Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds, and more to its name, this studio has a rich history of well-crafted RPGs.

The game’s art director, Daniel Cabuco, took to Linkedin to announce his latest position. The post suggests that development has been ongoing for at least a month, though it may have begun even earlier.

This means that Obsidian is working on three games simultaneously. Considering that Avowed is set to release this year, most of the team working on this RPG will be free soon.

That will leave the studio with just The Outer Worlds 2, rumoured to be coming in 2025. Therefore, this third game is still a few years away. However, fans are already speculating about what the project could be.

It’s been made clear that Bethesda is open to working with other teams on Fallout again. Following the IP’s recent success on television, Microsoft could have asked Obsidian to help with a new spin-off since Bethesda is too busy with The Elder Scrolls 6.

Fallout: New Vegas 2 is something the fans have also wanted for many years.

On the other hand, Pillars of Eternity is another popular IP from the developers, so we wouldn’t be surprised if a sequel for this series were in the works. However, Avowed is already set in the same universe.

Nonetheless, it’s difficult to say exactly what the team is working on. For now, fans can look forward to Avowed in Fall 2024. Following this release, the studio should be ready to share more information.
