With inXile Entertainment, Obsidian Entertainment, Bethesda Game Studios, and Playground Games, Microsoft have become an absolute powerhouse in the RPG space. Of these studios, inXile had the most recent release with Wasteland 3, but we’ve been hearing about the studio’s next game for a while now.
Speaking about the same recently on Twitter, inXile head Brian Fargo suggested that whatever comes next from the studio is still a while away. Fargo said that inXile are currently “working on wonderful new RPGs”, before adding that “they take so long to make.” In a subsequent tweet, he added the studio’s second RPG is “in the infancy of pre-production”, so it’s going to be a while yet before we see or hear anything about it.
As for what their very next project is, that remains to be seen. We know that the game is going to be developed using the next-gen Unreal Engine 5, but apart from that, little to nothing is known about it. Given how good Wasteland 3 was though, it’s probably going to be one worth looking out for.
