Obsidian is generally better known for their work on sequels such as Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege III, as well as original games like South Park: The Stick of Truth and Pillars of Eternity.
Tyranny has been a well-kept secret, but the principle idea seems to be an interesting one.

And if Tyranny is to take that path, the results will certainly be interesting.

The game does however, seem to have certain similarities to Pillars of Eternity, another somewhat successful Obsidian game that was also published by Paradox Interactive. For more information, check out the game’s website.
