Continuing Sega's recent trend of working with external developers, today the company has announced that it will publish an Obsidian developed role-playing game for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Obsidian is behind the hugely popular Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and is currently working on the sequel to Neverwinter Nights.
"The development team at Obsidian has 'proven track record' stamped all over it," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "When SEGA decided to create a fresh and captivating RPG franchise for new generations of hardware, we immediately knew who we wanted to work with."
"We are excited to be working with a great publisher like SEGA as they are willing and excited to launch new and visionary IP on next generation consoles," said Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment, Inc. "At Obsidian, our focus is to make exceptional games and we see SEGA as a true partner in achieving that goal for our next epic RPG."
No details on the RPG have been revealed, but expect to hear more soon, with E3 looking like the ideal event to blow the lid on the project.
