Xbox exclusives from Obsidian and Compulsion Games

Compulsion Games, creating We Happy Few, wanted to focus first of all on the creation of a setting, and the story developed during the production of the title. Now, according to leaks, the new game they would be working on has a character dark fantasy, action ed in terza persona, codenamed “Midnight”. Some concept art of the title has already been released, such as the character and humanoid figures similar to harpies, and it is described as a story of “maturation”, inspired by the deepest parts of South America. Among the elements in the game are magic, large fantastic beasts and a strong atmosphere of “Southern gothic”.

Regarding Obsidian, the new project is from a small team led by Josh Sawyer (lead of Fallout New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity). The title Pentiment, referring to the most underlying image in a painting, which has become visible once the layer of paint above it has faded over time, indicates the theme of the new project, placing as the protagonist an investigator in seventeenth-century Europe, dedicated to uncovering the truth behind a misty murder.

The game would take some cues from Disco Elysium, together with a dialogue formed by numerous choices and the typical narrative style of Sawyer; it will be possible to investigate to accuse characters in the game, e suffer the necessary consequences. Pentiment is an RPG title that doesn’t focus on combat, and appears to be exploring more experimental gameplay elements; moreover, it could arrive in 2022.
