Obsidian Remains Optimistic About Upcoming Releases

Urquhart acknowledged the significant hurdles the studio faced, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the integration following Microsoft's acquisition. Simultaneous development of multiple titles, such as Grounded and Pentiment, placed considerable strain on the team's resources. He candidly admitted a period of intense pressure, even mentioning internal discussions about potentially halting The Outer Worlds 2 development to focus solely on Avowed. However, Obsidian ultimately decided to maintain their commitment to all projects.

Urquhart recounted the challenges of navigating the acquisition, the pandemic, and the concurrent development of Outer Worlds, its DLC, Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, Grounded, and Pentiment.

Despite these difficulties, Urquhart highlighted the successful launches of Grounded and Pentiment, emphasizing that Avowed is "looking great" and The Outer Worlds 2 is "looking incredible." While specific game details remain undisclosed, the recent delay of Avowed to 2025 suggests potential timeline adjustments for other projects.
