Game News “We talked about it a lot”: The developers of this Xbox exclusive from 2025 took this aspect of Baldur’s Gate 3 as a model
It’s not just the press and the public who play video games: developers naturally stay alert to what’s happening in the industry. This is the case with this studio working on this Xbox game.
The video game industry sometimes does amazing tricks! While he was originally supposed to work on Baldur’s Gate 3 with his team in 2008, years later, Feargus Urquhart (an RPG veteran and founder of the Obsidian studio) will finally see the title become a reality thanks to the experienced hands of Larian. A stroke of fate that does not leave him indifferent“I love those games (Baldur’s Gate, ed.), so I always hoped to make one (…) So it’s bittersweet! It’s great to play it, but I would have loved to have made it,” Urquhart explains on the Limit Break Network podcast on August 13.

The man and his company (who have produced genre references like Fallout: New Vegas in the past) are currently working on Avowed – an RPG set in the same universe as Pillars of Eternity, another of their titles. A new first-person project whose gameplay mixes magic | more classic weapons with a very extensive color palette. An adventure in which the player, alone or even accompanied, crosses many regions to meet their inhabitants. It is scheduled for February 18 on PC and Xbox Series X|S (and will be included in Game Pass).

For Avowed, Obsidian also carefully studied the traveling companions of Baldur’s Gate 3, as Feargus Urquhart explains in the same interview… “They really have different personalities, and I looked at a lot of what (Larian Studios, ed.) do and I do.” told me: I want to take a lot of this and compare it to our own approach to companions“. If Obsidian really wants to get close to what Baldur’s Gate 3 managed in this area, it has a lot to do: the Larian title is known for its gigantic script with dozens, dozens of branches, or the trajectory of its companions. From the story to the whole. At least the tone is set.
