Xbox has so many RPGs in development now, Lol. It's nice to see after an awful Gen 8 of them completely blanking the RPG genre in terms of exclusives despite going heavy into it during the X360 Era.

We've got...

  • Starfield
  • Avowed
  • Fable
  • Project Cobalt
  • The Outer Worlds 2
  • The Elder Scrolls VI

If they plan this right, they could have a major RPG release every year starting in 2022 - Whenever. Though they will have to release two in some years due to how many they have.

If Starfield makes 2022 then I see Avowed in Early 2023, Fable in Late 2023, Project Cobalt in 2024, The Outer Worlds in 2024, The Elder Scrolls VI in 2025, then whatever comes after, whether that be Avowed 2 or a different RPG from Obsidian. Maybe Fallout gets its ass into development, if Starfield is delayed then I think that pushes everything back, Lol but of course it's hard to predict dates now thanks to Covid knocking everything back so I could be way off.

Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing Project Cobalt, InXile has been receiving some heavy support from Microsoft, it was rumoured that they have one of the largest budgets inside of XGS for their RPG, the scope has apparently massively increased, not to mention, Microsoft gave them a huge ass studio after only Wasteland 3 so, they definitely trust Brian Fargo a lot, Lol.

What's funny is that Brian Fargo originally was wanting to retire after Wasteland 3, but after the studio acquisition, he's now pumped and gives teases about what they're working on, and that he won't be retiring anytime soon lol. He's like a kid in the candy store again and that in and of itself is something for us to be excited about lol. 

I still miss the OG Xbox era of RPG's where you had some insane exclusives like Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind from Bethesda, KOTOR and Jade Empire from BioWare, KOTOR 2 from Obsidian, and Fable along with The Lost Chapters. Now with the RPG's in development, as well as whatever ZeniMax Online Studios is working on, we're in for a big generation!
