Could this be the WoT IP?

[Arez Al'Loke]

Can hope xP

[Nolder]

Possibly

I read a theory on the Obsidian website that it might be a game about Ragnarok (Norse pantheons version of the apocalypse)

[Arez Al'Loke]

Has there ever been any hint at all from Obsidian that they were possibly going to look into WoT?

[Arez Al'Loke]

If I remember right, some other company has already bought the right to making the game. Although I think that a "Elder scrolls" type of game would suite WoT the best. Can't think of anything better.. Alot more story, progression through the story and so on.

[Nolder]

Red Eagle partnered with Obsidian to make the WoT game(s)

[Arez Al'Loke]

Don't get my hopes up Nolder, I will smack you if it turns out that they aren't making a WoT game (Which I'm still very certain they won't be doing)..

[Arez Al'Loke]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arez Al'Loke]

NONONONOONONO!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Malibu, California and Las Vegas, Nevada — August 14, 2012 — Red Eagle Games and Jet Set Games today announced they are collaborating on the development of a mobile game for smartphones and tablets based on Robert Jordan's best-selling fantasy series, The Wheel of Time.

[Arez Al'Loke]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[Arez Al'Loke]

Phew.. Thank the creator .... It seems that they won't make one after all *relieved*

[SinisterDeath]

That project is most definately probably not wheel of time. It may have the snake picture on it. but it definately isn't wheel of time. The text to accompany said splash images... just aren't wot related.

 

That is, unless they are doing a double tease...

[Nolder]

I like the norse pantheon theory myself

[SinisterDeath]

I'm thinking another Dragon Age.

[Nolder]

I hope not

I really don't like the DA series

[SinisterDeath]

I hope not

I really don't like the DA series

 

Better than a WoT game IMO.

Doesn't sound like WoT but Dragon Age to me.

In time, waves washing against the fingers of Geiran's Grasp will call them back into the sea. The difference between you and the sea is that the sea does not stop. -->

 

Perhaps a Pirate-High Seas version of DA?

[Arez Al'Loke]

Don't want another DA... Haven't even bought the first or second one...

[SinisterDeath]

It fits with the text better than WoT does.

 

Side note, theres some code under the view-source of that webpage.

 

Basically theres some random xx-x's and such..

And each day theve been replaced with letters.

Right now it seems they spell

Eternity.

 

which might be the name of the project.

Theres already mention of demons and such in those splash pages. Some kind of magic, and alot of suffering. To me it sounds like more and more a dark-fantasy type setting.

Though Obsidian has mentioned interest in a Post-Apocaplytic setting. (perhaps a post-apoc-fantasy one?... though technically. wot is a post-apoc-fantasy setting. LOL)

[Nolder]

"Eternity" is probably a reference to the Ouroboros picture which I think is Jormungandr specifically

I'm pretty convinced that whatever this is it is going to be heavily influenced by Norse mythology

[Werthead]

PROJECT ETERNITY is now PILLARS OF ETERNITY, complete with some highly promising gameplay footage. No release date, though a window of mid-to-late 2014 is still expected.

 

Obsidian are still willing to make the WHEEL OF TIME RPG, by the way. Red Eagle are simply in charge of funding it and so far haven't been able to find the money to do it. Y'know, because of their gross incompetence and constant mishandling of the licence.

[Durinax]

yes they finally got the backer site working!
