BioWare Forms New Development Relationship Exploring Projects With Feargus Urquhart's Obsidian Entertainment
is the press release announcing a new collaborative relationship between BioWare
and Obsidian, which turns out to be where former Black Isle Studios president Feargus Urquhart has landed (as CEO). The deal is for both PC and console games,
with the quote provided from Urquhart indicating that they will be taking on one
or more established properties: "A collaboration with BioWare
gives Obsidian the opportunity to explore development projects on established
game franchises with proven technology and brand loyalty from the fan community.
This is an excellent opportunity for a new studio looking to make an immediate
impact in the market."
I really could care less if BG3 continues the storyline or even who develops it, as long as there are more well-done CRPGs... We've got Greyhawk to look forward to, but there's always room for more.
