Obsidian Says There’ll Be “No Microtransactions of Any Kind” in Upcoming Game

Take-Two Interactive recently announced a new label, Private Division, which will be publishing an unannounced RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. Fans instantly took to social media to ask the developer if its upcoming title will feature microtransactions akin to many of the titles published under Take-Two labels (and the recent controversies certainly don’t help matters).

Such were the concerns that it prompted not only a written statement from Obsidian but also a video featuring project leads Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain, which you can watch below.

Simply put, Obsidian says there will be “no microtransactions of any kind” in the upcoming game. The studio further wrote:

We also wanted to say a word about our partnership with Private Division, our publisher on this title. Far from “pushing” us to put anything — microtransactions or otherwise — 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. They 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.

No other details about the project have been made available yet.
