Många hade hoppats på att få se Avowed, vilket beskrivits som Obsidians tolkning av Elder Scrolls, under Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. Tyvärr lös det med sin frånvaro, men Jason Schreier säger sig veta varför det inte dök upp.
I en ny rapport skriver Bloomberg-journalisten Schreier att det skulle vara fel att säga att Avowed befinner sig i "utvecklingshelvetet", men att teamet bytt ut ett antal kreativa ledare och att visionen ändrats ett antal gånger.
"My understanding, based on conversations with multiple people close to Obsidian not named Chris Avellone, is that Avowed has gone through multiple reboots and lost/replaced several directors and leads last year. As I said on Twitter, that's why I don't expect it to be out any time in the near future. I did not say "the game is going through development hell and will never come out." But it has certainly had some real issues.
As it turns out, Avellone was the first to mention in public that the game had lost directors. Given his history, people were understandably skeptical. But when he said on Twitter that the game keeps losing leads, he was not lying."
Nuvarande director tros vara Carrie Patel, som började hos Obsidian redan 2013 och som tidigare har arbetat som narrative designer på Pillars of Eternity-serien. Hon var också senior narrative designer på The Outer Worlds och director för Peril on Gorgon-expansionen till sistnämnda spel.
