In a post to their official forum, Obsidian stated that their will be no microtransactions or lootboxes in their upcoming \u2013 currently untitled \u2013 RPG.
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely excited about our upcoming RPG, and we know you are too,\u201d they said in the post.
\u201cWe wish we could tell you all about it right now\u2026 but we\u2019re going to hold off until the time is right. What we did want to talk about was a question a lot of you have been raising: \u2018Will this upcoming game feature any lootboxes or other microtransactions?\u2019
\u201cThe answer is simply: \u201cno.\u201d No microtransactions, of any kind, in our game.\u201d
This news follows the announcement that Obsidian will be working with Take-Two Interactive, who published all of the GTA and Bioshock games, via their new publishing label, Private Division.
Pitched as a \u201ca new label from Take-Two Interactive Software publishing games from top independent development studios\u201d, Private Division had been in the works behind the scenes for more than two years before it was announced last week.
However, some fans voiced concern that Obsidian\u2019s association with Private Division would lead to pressure from Take-Two to implement GTA Online or NBA 2K18-style microtransactions in their game.
In response to this, Obsidian said: \u201cFar from \u2018pushing\u2019 us to put anything \u2014 microtransactions or otherwise \u2014 into our game, Private Division has been incredibly supportive of our vision, our creative freedom, and the process by which we work to make RPGs.
\u201cThey have been fantastic partners, and we are extremely excited to work with them through release, to put what we know is going to be an amazing game into as many hands as possible.\u201d
Obsidian teased their new RPG last month, but we know they\u2019re currently working on Pillars of Eternity 2, which is expected to come out in 2018.
