Obsidian Entertainment - Working on an RTS?

July 25th, 2008, 11:00

CVG has discovered a job ad for a lead artist on an RTS title for Obsidian, leading to the obvious speculation that the RPG house is moving into strategy territory. With Storm of Zehir, Alpha Protocol and Aliens under development, this seems unlikely to me - but who knows?

An advertisement recently appeared on Creative Heads recruitment website, calling for a lead artist on an undisclosed upcoming RTS title.

No other information was listed, but we can't even imagine what a studio known for characterisation and role-playing would do with an RTS.

More information.

RPG with mass battles ?
