Obsidian not developing Alpha Protocol 2, but would like to

Alpha Protocol was one of the more unfairly maligned roleplaying games of last year, featuring a present day scenario with tons of morally ambiguous decisions that the player could make, which would affect the gameplay and the story as the game went along. The PC version, in particular, was well designed.

However, since the game flopped in sales, Sega has completely given up on the IP - but Obsidian hasn’t.

In an interview with NowGamer, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has stated that a sequel would vastly improve on the original. ”Perhaps it was not necessarily the job we did but there was something beyond the game – how it was represented or how it was sold or what people felt we promised them. Something went off-kilter there. So there’s another lesson to learn about communication,” says Urquhart. “We’re not making Alpha Protocol 2 but I would make Alpha Protocol 2. To do a job like this, sometimes you have to be optimistic, you have to look to the future and say ‘We can do better.’ And I always believe that.”
