As for Final Fantasy , the franchise had a couple of announcements like Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin , but none were on the scale of Final Fantasy 16 . While this highly anticipated game was a big no show at E3, many have begun to assume that it will be included in a potential PlayStation State of Play event sometime this sum
It’s unknown when Square Enix will be ready to talk about Part 2, though with the engine and assets already in place, many feel it won’t be quite as long as it was waiting for the first part. While E3 came and went without an update, there are still multiple chances for some sort of reveal in 2021 including major events like Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, though considering Final Fantasy 7 Remake just extended its PlayStation exclusivity for another 6 months, it’s more than likely that a trailer will be shown by Sony in an upcoming State of Play digital ev
It is possible that guns may still exist in Avowed , even if the game is set some time before the Pillars of Eternity games. Avowed Crafting Guide will be set in the Living Lands , a wild northern frontier filled with competing factions and strange beasts. It may be that the Living Lands are less technologically developed than the heart of Eora’s empires, but that more modern technology like guns can still be fo
Lovecraft’s Azathoth and The Elder Scrolls ‘ Godhead are both consciousnesses that exist beyond reality. Lovecraft’s other powerful beings like Cthulhu are still ultimately subject to the subconsciousness of the Blind Idiot God, while Tamriel’s Nine Divines are still just figments of the Godhead’s dream
There have been no hints as to what this project is, but it’s not hard to imagine Josh Sawyer returning to the Pillars of Eternity series in light of Avowed. Additionally, The Outer Worlds is a successful new IP for the company, so it would make sense for Obsidian to follow it up at some point down the line. Perhaps the most popular and sought-after theory is that Obsidian is making Fallout: New Vegas 2 , which has been rumored ever since Microsoft began its Bethesda acquisit
Another Microsoft game revealed last summer during the Xbox Games Showcase, Avowed seemed to be Obsidian’s response to Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series. Ironically, months later Microsoft went out and purchased Bethesda, reuniting both studios and franchises. Instead of updating fans with new Avowed content at E3 2021, Obsidian instead showcased the latest update for Grounded as well as a hilarious teaser trailer for The Outer Worlds
Unfortunately, it seems there’s no end in sight to the silent treatment. Earlier this year, Bayonetta 3 Director Hideki Kamiya told fans to forget about the game so it would be a nice surprise when it was finally revealed, though fans have seemingly gone against his wishes. Following the lack of E3 news, Kamiya received plenty of complaints which reportedly left him equally as frustrated over what he felt were people making reckless remarks and spreading false beliefs that the game was being delayed or cancelled outri
Grounded stands out among the list of current projects at Obsidian Entertainment, as it has technically already been released but just in Early Access. It’s a survival RPG where players embody a person who has been shrunk and must survive the terror of creatures like bees and spiders in a backyard. Grounded is in early access and has already seen several updates with new content, and this looks set to continue for some time. The unique game has resonated well with gamers and critics alike and will likely be a big focus for Obsidian going forward until and probably after it has received a full rele
The second and final Outer Worlds DLC, Murder on Eridanos , is set to arrive sometime before the end of the current fiscal year. This means that the expansion should be in the hands of players before April 1, 2021. The story of the expansion revolves around a character known as Halcyon Helen, the star of an in-universe show called Terror on Monarch. Helen is looking to go on a final adventure and looks set to be a solid follow-up to the first expansion, Peril on Gor
Pillars of Eternity was deeply invested in exploring the metaphysical side of Eora. The player character was a Watcher, a person who can see people’s past lives. Who exactly Avowed ‘s protagonist will be and whether they’ll be a Watcher remains to be seen, as does Avowed ‘s investment in concepts like The Wheel which dominated the plots of the isometric R
While Pillars of Eternity ‘s technology and culture resembles the early modern period, many of the visuals in the Avowed trailer appear far more medieval in style. Instead of firing guns or cannon balls, the battle shown in the trailer uses a row of archers on top of a castle wall. There’s also evidence that Avowed takes place before Pillars of Eternity based on some of the trailer’s narrat
Another game that was likely a longshot to be shown at E3 2021, the biggest hurdle Pragmata came up against was another lengthy delay which pushed its already distant 2022 release date a year later into 2023. Still, fans were at least hopeful to learn a little more about the intriguing game as well as maybe view another teaser trailer. While there’s still a chance it appears at another event later this year, the game is still so far away that Capcom could opt to simply hold it back a little longer than it originally expec
