Brian Fargo - CEO of Wasteland 3 developer InXile Entertainment - took to Twitter over the course of the weekend to confirm the studio is working on two "wonderful new RPGs". He was responding to a fan who had contacted him via the social media platform, thanking him for Wasteland 3.
These two RPG games could be new entries in InXile's impressive portfolio. It may be too soon for a new Wasteland game, since the last one came out this year and was "brilliantly bloody" according to our Wasteland 3 review. But a new Torment game or the fifth Bard's Tale are not outside the realms of possibility.
Here's the thing though: the timing of Brian Fargo's tweets is rather intriguing. Both posts come days after Bethesda's acquisition by Microsoft, just as people have begun to wonder about the future of Fallout. We don't know the exact details of the deal that was made; perhaps Bethesda still wants to handle development of future Fallout games in-house. However, given the dev's background with some of the original Fallout titles, perhaps one or both of these mystery RPGs could tie in to the long-running series in some way - after all, stranger things have happened in the past.
