2025 is shaping up to be the most significant year yet for Obsidian Entertainment, a game studio with a 22-year history. They launched *Avowed*, their first major fantasy RPG, in February, and it was well-received by fans of their *Pillars of Eternity* series. Then, in June, Obsidian surprised everyone at the Xbox showcase with the announcement of a sequel to *Grounded*, their popular survival game inspired by *Honey, I Shrunk the Kids*. The sequel entered early access on June 29th. And now, after a four-year wait since its initial announcement in 2021, *The Outer Worlds 2* is almost here, capping off an incredible year with three major game releases for Obsidian.
