Obsidian announced a brand new RPG, ‘Tyranny’
I know Obsidian as “that fucking company” which “put out that pile of shit KOTOR 2“, for better or worse. I know the game was rushed, I know. I know Obsidian as “that fucking company” which “put out that pile of shit Fallout: New Vegas“, for better or worse. I know that many people love that game, I know. But I’m not swell on the company, even if their last game, Pillars of Eternity was widely praised. Who knows. It’s a “me” thing, but I’m trying to be excited for the announcement of their newest game, Tyranny.
Tonight at GDC, independent developer Obsidian announced Tyranny, a brand new isometric role-playing game coming later this year for PC, Mac, and Linux. It’ll be published by Paradox, who also helped get Pillars of Eternity out the door.
Details are scarce, but Obsidian says the game is set in a world where there was a grand struggle between good and evil—until evil won. “A nonlinear story challenges players to find their role within the dominant empire and live with the outcomes of difficult, morally unclear decisions,” the company said in a press release.
