Obsidian is an absolute fucking machine, I made a post the other day wondering if The Outer Worlds 2 would be 2025 because of the leaked plan to release one title per year, in light of Avowed being delayed due to scheduling reasons it would have meant something else may have been planned for 2025 before Avowed's delay but I wasn't really that seriously thinking it was a possibility! I know Avowed and The Outer World teams are entirely separate though, about 100-150 each and The Outer Worlds 2 can probably utilise a lot of asset reusing.
If Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 both make 2025 then Obsidian is cementing their status as a GOAT developer if they already haven't. Now imagine if Playground Games actually manages to release both Fable and Forza Horizon 6 in the same year, I was thinking about how if that would happen then it would be like a competition between two of Xbox's best studios, 2 for Obsidian and 2 for Playground but I don't dare to dream that crazy, Lol. Now I'm starting to hope that GTA 6 fucks off into 2026.
Xbox's 2025 is bonkers so far.
- Avowed
- South of Midnight
- Doom The Dark Ages
- Call of Duty
- The Outer Worlds 2
- Fable
Since May they've been hitting a title per quarter - Q2 was Hellblade II, Q3 was Age of Mythology Retold, Q4 was Black Ops 6, Flight Sim 24, Indiana Jones. Then Q1 will be Avowed, Q2 sounds like it will be South of Midnight and I personally expect Doom in May as well. Q3/Q4 will depend where GTA lands I reckon but they're on a roll lately. Largely AAAs as well, aside from Age of Mythology Retold.
