We had already arrived in the ears a voice like that and there we mentioned in a previous news , but now the thing starts to become more concrete: according to a report of the American site Kotaku Microsoft is about to finalize the acquisition of Obsidian Entertainment , the software house specializing in RPG and responsible for works such as KOTOR 2 , Neverwinter Nights 2 , Fallout: New Vegas , South Park: the stick of truth and Pillars of Eternity , just for name a few.

Kotaku has received the information from three different sources, that the negotiations between the two companies are nearly complete and missing very little to the formalization of everything. If this is true, then an ad to the Mexican event X018 is increasingly likely.

A similar acquisition would be positive in many ways: we may rely on a study with decades of experience in the field of RPG, a sort of ransom after he escape BioWare when it was acquired by EA; It would also be a further confirmation of the fact that Microsoft is more than willing to produce titles typically single player, after many feared an abandonment of that kind of games by the House of Redmond.

For Obsidian, however, could mean count finally on a major financial support, which enables it to create the AAA securities to which they always sucked but that due to budget constraints, have had few opportunities to make over the years.

We just have to wait to find out if this tantalizing rumor becomes reality: stay tuned!
