Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has revealed details about an unannounced title that his firm is working on.

According to the exec - whose credits include Knights Of The Old Republic and Bethesda's Fallout 3 - the new title will be an RPG developed using the studio's in-house engine.

"We have been working on another title for the last four months that we can’t talk about yet," he told GameBanshee.

"It's going really well though and the team is really excited. It's using our own internal engine so we are really able to do things our way based upon everything we've learned about making RPGs in the past ten to fifteen years.

"Don't take that as a silent slam on Unreal - it’s not. Our engine, like Unreal, is a tool and different jobs can be done better with tools that are made for them. There are things that our engine may never do as well as Unreal, but likewise there are things that our engine will do that will be better than Unreal."

Obsidian's unannounced project is expected to be unveiled in the coming months.
