While work on The Outer Worlds rages on, Obsidian is already working on its next game. The title appears to be another role-playing game with branching dialogue. Hopefully, it'll be an open-world experience like Obsidian's past projects like Fallout: New Vegas. Kate Dollarhyde, Lead Narrative Designer, said that Obsidian was looking for another Lead Narrative Designer for its "next project." The studio needs someone who understands "branching dialogue" and "role-playing game design conventions."

It's unclear what this project is, or if it's the same "redacted" project Dollarhyde is working on. Only time will tell. It's clear that Obsidian isn't slowing down its development because the team has multiple projects in the works. This upcoming game may be exclusive to Xbox Oneand Windows 10 because it doesn't seem like any publishing agreements were made before Microsoft purchased the developer.
 
This is almost as shocking as hearing that 343's next game will be a Halo game or that Bethesda's next game will be bug-ridden.

Good. RPGs are what they do best.

Only question :Is New Vegas or Pillars of Eternity esque.
 
Don't know. Think they could make a pretty cool Fable game
 
Personally don't find Obsidian to be the right fit for Fable. Whatever it is they're working on, I just hope it's something I'll be interested in, but I can't say that's been the case with much of their previous work.

I just don't see it either; a dialog tree with happy fart, angry fart or flirty fart would be amusing once though.

Ninja Theory would make a better Fable then Obsidian I think... ;)
 
Maybe, unless they give it to FromSoftware

Fable made by From?

Fable is, and I believe should remain, a fairly lighthearted franchise. Thats not to say they shouldn't have some grim & dark themes, but in the grand scheme of things, none of the output I've seen with FROM software suits Fable tonally or from a gameplay standpoint.
