Feargus Urquhart: Obsidian is Doing Fine

Just in case you were worrying that the cancelling of the Aliens RPG means Obsidian is falling apart at the seams, Feargus Urquhart told Big Download that this is not the case.

According to what Urquhart told us, “We are doing fine and do not have to shut down operations. We are still actively developing Alpha Protocol and are working on another couple of properties.” Alpha Protocol is Obsidian’s other game for Sega, a third person action-RPG in the super-spy genre that is expected to be released sometime in 2009. Urquhart would not comment on the rumors of the Aliens RPG cancelation nor on the reports of layoffs at the company. One of their other games they might be working on is a rumored third expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2.

Good weather face or no, Obsidian’s fate does look pretty closely tied to Alpha Protocol now.
