Obsidian Teases "Project X"

Fallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth developer Obsidian looks just about ready to talk about a new game that it's been working on. Of course, nothing's ever as easy as a simple announcement these days - which is why we have a rather cryptic teaser on the studio's homepage.

The splash page of the developer's official site has been taken over with an emblem containing the number '4' and the words, ""What do the words mean?" "Nothing. The Dirge of Eír Glanfath is sound without form, a lone voice crying out in mourning because it must.""

Clicking the link on the splash page will take you to an official forum where fans can speculate wildly about what "Project X" could be. Perhaps the best immediate response to Obsidian mods trying to hype up the mystery title is a post by member 'starwars' that simply says, "Waht!?"

'Waht' indeed. Check out the splash page for yourself here - and check out the web page's source code, which contains the hidden message, "To tenderness, fellowship. To fellowship, vigilance. So bring we all to the Night Market. I am the Spindle of Esenath. Know me by my light and stand with me in darkness." Interesting!
