Obsidian teases future projects

Obsidian Entertainment head Feargus Urquhart has revealed details of the firm's future projects.

Speaking to Game Revolution, the exec teased that the studio is developing an XBLA title and working on a secret project.

Urquhart also explained that the developer is pitching a Lord Of The Rings-themed game set in a world ruled by antagonist Sauron.

"We're also working on an original IP XBLA game; so that hopefully will be out first quarter next year," he said. "It'll be an action RPG that's focused on fun - not Dungeon Siege - it's quite a bit different in a different genre with a different camera.

"We also might throw our hat in the whole free-to-play thing. In the game industry there's a lot of different opportunities for all different kinds of products."

He added: "There actually is another game that I can't talk about at all… It's a licensed product but it's a licensed product that when people hear about it they're going to be, 'Well you had to do that. There's no option, if I was a developer and I was offered that I would just do it'."

Obsidian will also release Dungeon Siege 3 later this year.
