Obsidian Entertainment Kickstarter Profile Appears

Mysteriously (or perhaps not), a profile owned by none other than Obsidian Entertainment has appeared on crowd-funding web site Kickstarter within the last few days. Considering the secret “Project X” that Obsidian have been touting is about to be announced, judging by the countdown on the Obsidian web site, could this be a hint that the game will be a Kickstarter-funded release?

Here’s the full company bio taken from the Kickstarter page:

Obsidian Entertainment is a game development studio located in Irvine, CA. We were founded in 2003 with many former Black Isle Studios employees dedicated to producing high-quality role-playing games. We’re most known for games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Prior to Obsidian, each of the owners worked for Black Isle Studios as production, design, management, and programming staff, having worked on the Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment series.

We loved working on those games, and feel there’s a real nostalgia for them, and we’re looking to you for help to bring them back!

That last paragraph should certainly get a few people excited.  Thanks to the RPG Codex staff for digging this up.
