Obsidian’s RPG will NOT Have Microtransactions
A few days ago Take-Two studios have made a new game distributor. The name of the new distributor is called Private Division and the very first games under their wing will be an RPG made by Obsidian Entertainment. A lot of people shuddered at the thought of seeing a game distributed by a Take-Two subsidiary.
In case people have been living under a rock. Take-Two has taken an awful approach towards Microtransactions and Loot Boxes. They made buffoons out of themselves thanks to the fact that they went fully aggressive about NBA2K18 on microtransactions.
However, Obsidian saw that players were starting to show concerns about Obsidian’s future RPG and they cleared out some rumors by mentioning that Microtransactions will not be featured in the new game.
Now Obsidian’s statement reads as follows: “We’re extremely excited about our upcoming RPG, and we know you are too. We wish we could tell you all about it right now… but we’re going to hold off until the time is right. What we did want to talk about was a question a lot of you have been raising: “Will this upcoming game feature any lootboxes or other microtransactions?”
The answer was a resounding “No”. The new RPG made by Obsidian will not include any sort of Microtransaction. As much as players feared about Private Division pushing Obsidian into including them, they mentioned that it isn’t the case.
“Far from “pushing” us to put anything — microtransactions or otherwise — into our game, Private Division has been incredibly supportive of our vision, our creative freedom, and the process by which we work to make RPGs.”
So there we have it. Obsidian Entertainment won’t be taking the soulless approach made by other games released by 2K. We can only hope that they remain with this vision from now on.
On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.
The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.
The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.
We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.
PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?
According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.
Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
