IGN:
Obsidian Entertainment was developing a role-playing game called Stormlands for the launch of Xbox One that was ultimately canceled, and studio CEO Fergus Urquhart has come forward to reveal why Microsoft scrapped the project.
"It was so offensive to me"
Cliff Bleszinski shares thoughts on Gears of War’s PlayStation debut, E-Day, and Microsoft’s Game Pass strategy.
The narrative deduction title is available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the App Store for just $7.
I'm not even surprised being as the suits within Microsoft expect everything to have Halo levels of success. Obsidian could have created an rpg gem for Xbox but Microsoft listened to the bean counters like always.
it was canned for trying new things, wasn't a bro shooter
So it was cancelled due to not having someone at MS cheering it on and pushing on your behalf . Could it be that no one took such action cause they were not impressed with what they saw .
The project was canned because obsidian didn't have a champion to push the game.
Would have been great to see Xbox One have an action RPG along the lines of Mass Effect at launch.
That's a weird way to title the article, kotor 2 isn't really a recent game of obsidian or their defining moment.
