Obsidian Dev Says They Need to “Re-Examine Entire Format” Before Making a Pillars of Eternity 3

The director of the Pillars of Eternity games said that the team at Obsidian would need to “re-examine the entire format of the game” if they go forward with a third title.

In a Tumblr post published on Friday, series director Josh Sawyer wrote that Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire didn’t sell as well as the studio hoped, and that it’s not up to him whether another game gets to be made. He did say that fans can expect some changes if another sequel comes out.

“…I do think that the relatively low sales of Deadfire mean that if we consider making another Pillars game in this style, we’re going to have to re-examine the entire format of the game,” Sawyer wrote.

Star Wars: Early Art Shows Kylo Ren Looking More Like Darth Vader

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming December 20, and Kylo Ren’s full repaired mask returning, Lucasfilm concept designer Christian Alzmann posted some early art ideas for Kylo’s helmet on Instagram.

As you can see, the original take on Kylo’s top seemed like an attempt to emulate, in some regard, Darth Vader. There’s the breathing-mask element plus the peaked dome top that comes down over the ears. Character-wise, it would have fit with Kylo’s admiration of his grandfather, but the choice was made to go a different route.

New Rainbow Six Siege Y4S4 Shifting Tides Operators Revealed

Ubisoft has confirmed the rumors that Year 4, Season 4 of Rainbow Six Siege will be titled Shifting Tides. Like previous seasons, Shifting Tides adds new Operators to the game.

Team Rainbow is getting two new Operators in Shifting Tides: one Attacker and one Defender. The new Attacker is codenamed Kali, while the new Defender goes by Wamai. Kali is the very rich head of a successful private military contractor while Wamai is former Kenyan Navy Special Forces who now works for Kali.

Kali is the first Operator to carry a bolt-action sniper rifle as her primary firearm, and the heavy-duty weapon packs a punch. It fires bullets with enough firepower to penetrate through both destructible walls and Operators, allowing you to kill enemies hiding behind teammates or walls. Kali’s gadget is the LV Explosive Lance, an under-barrel projectile that tears through walls–even reinforced ones–and destroys all gadgets within its radius once it reaches the other side. Think Ash’s Breaching Rounds combined with Thatcher’s EMP Grenade.

Wamai doesn’t have anything special in regards to firearms, but he makes up for it with one of the coolest gadgets that Siege has ever seen. The Mag-Net System allows Wamai to attach powerful magnets to pretty much any surface. These magnets activate when they sense projectiles of a certain speed (faster than someone walking but slower than a bullet, like a thrown grenade) and pull them away before they detonate. If carefully placed, Wamai can use his Mag-Net System to cause Attackers to grenade a hostage, flashbang themselves, or–in the case of certain Operators like Ash or Capitão–accidentally use their own gadgets against their teammates.

Rainbow Six Siege is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. A spin-off, Rainbow Six Quarantine, is scheduled to release in 2020.
