Today Eurogamer posted an interview with Nathaniel Chapman from Obsidian, lead designer of Dungeon Siege 3. There's one question that really intrigued me:
Eurogamer : Rumour has it your next project is going to be a 2D RPG. Can you tell us anything about that?
Nathaniel Chapman : We do have some job postings for something but I can't talk about it, except to say that people will be very excited when they find about it.
Could this be the new Icewind Dale game, or a new IP in the tradition of good old isometric RPGs with lots of side quests, tactical gameplay? This's the most exciting news for me since the announcement of the Larian's new isometric RPG. I hope Obsidian find enough money to put this project into reality.
But, this could be some Facebook flash-based hack&slash or some Iphone game. Who knows?
