Obsidian Entertainment's CEO, Feargus Urquhart, reveals his strong desire to develop a game based on Microsoft's Shadowrun IP. This follows a recent interview where he was asked about his interest in non-Fallout Xbox properties.
While Obsidian is currently occupied with projects like Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, Urquhart expressed significant enthusiasm for Shadowrun, calling it "super cool." He specifically mentioned requesting a list of Microsoft IPs after the acquisition, ultimately choosing Shadowrun as his top pick.
Obsidian's history with successful RPG sequels is well-established, from Fallout: New Vegas to Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II. Urquhart's past comments highlight the studio's preference for expanding existing worlds, making Shadowrun a potentially ideal fit. He even admitted to owning multiple editions of the original tabletop RPG.
The Shadowrun franchise, originating as a tabletop RPG in 1989, boasts a rich history of video game adaptations. While Harebrained Schemes has produced several recent titles, a new, original Shadowrun game is highly anticipated by fans. The last major installment, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, launched in 2015. Remastered versions appeared on various platforms in 2022, but the call for a fresh entry remains strong.
Should Obsidian secure the license, a new Shadowrun game from this acclaimed studio would likely be well-received by fans. The combination of Obsidian's RPG expertise and the rich lore of Shadowrun promises an exciting potential future for the franchise.
