"When My.com came, we had already been thinking about doing something online, maybe with a free-to-play scheme. And we've hired some people that have brought a different knowledge base to the studio. We play a lot of games at the studio, and we have a lot of interests outside the studio.

Skyforge is made by Allods Team, and Obsidian is aiding Western localisation.

Here's a studio that crowd-funded Pillars of Eternity to the tune of $4m, because if anyone could deliver on the promise of an Infinity Engine-style role-playing game, Obsidian could. Here's a studio known for Knights of the Old Republic 2, for Fallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth.
