This is apparently no longer a rumor: several developers on GAF have confirmed this.

Didn't Sega just say it was taking development of some titles in-house.
Maybe this is the first one we will be seeing.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Unfortunately for Obsidian. Since Sega owns the rights to the Aliens RPG and they decide to cancel, then Obsidian will be forced to lay off some people... or buy the Aliens RPG IP from Sega, but I doubt they can spend that kind of money in the middle of a recession.

 Money. Have you been paying attention to financials? Everyone is struggling save Nintendo, Activision, Ubisoft and Konami.
Tons and tons of money is being lost in the video game industry, and lots of jobs are gone.
