Obsidian Entertainment CEO Eyes Shadowrun: A Cyberpunk-Fantasy RPG Revival?
Obsidian Entertainment's CEO, Feargus Urquhart, has publicly expressed strong interest in developing a game based on Microsoft's lesser-known Shadowrun IP. This revelation follows a recent interview and sheds light on the acclaimed RPG studio's potential future projects.
Beyond Fallout: A Shadowrun Obsession
In a podcast interview with Tom Caswell, Urquhart was asked which non-Fallout Microsoft IP he'd most like to tackle. While Obsidian is currently engrossed in projects like *Avowed* and *The Outer Worlds 2*, Urquhart didn't hesitate to name Shadowrun as his top choice. He emphasized his long-standing admiration for the franchise, noting that he requested a list of available Microsoft IPs after the company's acquisition of Obsidian. The recent Activision Blizzard acquisition further expanded those options, yet Shadowrun remains his primary focus.
Obsidian's reputation is built on its expertise in crafting compelling sequels and expanding existing game worlds.
