Just posted this to the Upcoming Video Games thread, but this thread seems to be where we’re focusing on the ongoing showcase.
Edit: Oh and here is a great Eurogamer article on this game:

I like fantasy, and creatures and magic and silly names, and player choice and emergent gameplay, and pretty colors!

I trust Obsidian to do something interesting.
Pillars of Eternity setting has an interesting metaphysic around souls. They are known objects that are studied, worked with.
And as any good Obsidian game made it central in the culture, science, religion, and social elements of the worlds.
Same for gods in the setting, with less in-universe understanding.
It’s a mythology heavy, yet “it’s part of the world, we work with it without too much awe, but a bit of respect towards those forces” approach.
As for Awoved itself, one of the hook is that you PC is a “Godlike”, a person “blessed” by a god of the setting before birth. Yet doesn’t know of which one.
Which is interesting. It’s very Planetscape Torment, Baldur’s Gate, identity centric. Obsidian is one of Interplay inheritor for a reason.
It’s also the exact kind of fantasy that I do not care for.

Although, I do appreciate that Obsidian just ripped off Morrowind: the plot is
“You are an envoy from an Empire sent into a remote island to try to understand/stop a plague, the local culture does not trust you or like the Empire encroachment. The place has political intrigues galore you will have to navigate and exploit to accomplish your mission. Also you might have a link to the fundamental mythology of it all.”
Which is the best kind of plot for an RPG in my point of view, and I thought that for years now.
So I’m still a bit hyped.
Well, well, well… lol.
I don’t know if it’s always been definitively confirmed that Indy was gonna be an Xbox Exclusive, but it certainly felt like that for me, outside-looking-in. Massive cinematic IP, action game by Bethesda, would be a mssive draw for Xbox – if they had the legs for it these days anyway.
But this is pretty wild.
Video opens with the Xbox logo, ends with the Xbox logo, but riiight near the end, confirmation of a PS5 version…
The gaming landscape is turning into something weird but I’m all here for it

I think I like stealth tactics games, but also I find them intense and they take a lot out of me to play. I played Desperados 3 front to back, spending hours per mission, and it was great but it was also a lot. I really appreciate what Mimimi games did and I want to get to Shadow Gambit at some point…
Anyway this looks great and is by the people who made Blasphemous.
There’s a few of these stealth tactics games coming out. Another one is Sumerian Six:

Yeah, there´s quite a few of them these days (which is good). Red Glare came out earlier this year - I´ll probably get around to buying it by Christmas, but I´m mostly keeping an eye out for Commandos: Origins. Also, make sure to play Shadow Tactics if you haven´t yet.

Balatro’s getting an update today (I assume on all platforms, not just Switch?) featuring customized crossover decks from The Witcher, Vampire Survivors, Dave The Diver & Among Us.
If I played any of those games, I’d be more excited, but I’ll take it.
