Word has quickly spread of an upcoming rebirth of the famous RPG developer, Black Isle Studios, after the appearance of a brand new web site featuring the classic logo, updated Facebook and Twitter pages, and the portentous words "Black Isle Studios is back." We have very little information to go on, other than the fact that the domain appears to be registered to Interplay, who has been off the radar for some time after the cancellation of Fallout Online in the wake of a law suit by the current franchise owner, Bethesda.

The Fallout Exhibit in Las Vegas is offering fans a limited Edition Bottlecap during a special event.

A new Fallout exhibition has been revealed for fans.

Hope writes: "Classic RPGs make up some of the most formative examples of late '90s to early 2000s PC gaming in my memory, but I also remember when they weirdly disappeared. If you loved games like the original Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, or Planescape, and also wondered why we stopped seeing these kinds of titles for a bit there, well it turns out you can blame physical retailers for the decline in Dungeons-and-Dragons-style PC RPGs."
I would have loved to have bought Baldur's Gate 3 if it would have had a physical release (not the censored Japanese release).
People want to play them. Retailers will sell them. But most dev teams can't make them.
