Last I heard there is a new South Park game but it’s being made by a new development studio headed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
I don’t want any of the Obsidian teams wasted(my opinion of course) on an IP that I find completely unappealing.
lmao

Thats true. But Sony…“Diablo has had a rich history of being on PS consoles for 7 years it would be a great shame for gamers”

South Park has a studio but they are working with THQ Nordic on the next South Park game. So I imagine they would still need development partners.
South Park The Stick Of Truth is an amazing game and one of Obsidian’s best games which sold over 5 million copies. And I don’t think it would be a wasted opportunity for Obsidian to revisit the South Park IP in the future once Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 are out.
It would also make a great gamepass addition as well.
I imagine it functions similar to The Initiative - a core team managing everything and an external studio to outsource the work to.

Obsidian didn’t like working with Matt and Trey
I don’t want to see Obsidian work on south park again. They are far too talented to be held back in their creative freedom and world building.

I think you might be mixing up Obsidian with Ubisoft since Feargus Urquhart was super excited for the next South Park game.
I think the opposite. I think eventually Obsidian will get to the point where they could work on multiple projects at a time and even return to games such as South Park or Fallout New Vegas 2 while also creating new IP’s without it affecting their creative freedom and world building.
Sure they are too busy at the moment but once Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 are out that will free up a lot of developers.
Chris Parker said that it was challenging working with them. They would have to redo a lot of the design work because of them. He implied that the first creative director left because of frustrations with them so he had to take over the project. They didn’t like working with Ubisoft because they didn’t give them more budget after getting the publishing rights for so cheap. But he said team morale was high after the game because they worked on a lot of cool stuff and made a great game. So why not just work on other cool stuff without dealing with them.

Not sure what you mean, they already are at that point. 4 projects currently in development that we know of

I dont see Obsidian working on South Park again
I don’t see them working on anyone else’s IP other than potentially Fallout going forward

Even Fallout they’d probably be hard pressed to accept working on tbh. Need to remember that Obsidian had to work on other IPs before because that’s what they did to stay afloat, they don’t need that now.

Saw that yesterday live and my first thought was PGR, also I just checked wikipedia and apparently Asobo made Fuel. 
Either it’s a kart racer or PGR5 I’d love to see what Asobo will come up with on the Series consoles…this game will look bonkers no doubt! Let’s hope that this project will pass the phase of prototyping.
I don’t want to spoiler but I’ve seen leaks from Blizzard notably on the next Hero of Overwatch 2 and Diablo IV. Blizzard will add a bunch of iconic characters to the XBOX Universe that can be used for Gamepass ads. Or Crossovers in other universes. And my God the in-engine Diablo IV cutscenes look like CGI.

Interesting. Nothing about Asobo would suggest a Kart Racer I think? Maybe a Test Drive-style game based on real-world locations would be more up their street?
They gotta fix the Overwatch 2 heros being bound to battle pass because that’s disgusting.
