Black is Back

It seems that the studio Black Isles has been reestablished.

This is a surprising turn of events, especially after it's parent company Interplay shut it down years ago. Black Isles was an influential studio from the 90s that helped to cement the computer RPG genre. If you want more info check out the video below, as it covers some history of the studio.

Anyway interplay seems to be re-launching the old black isles studio, but there's a major catch. None of the old employees are returning. This turn of events will certainly turn heads, but also draw criticism. After all there's nothing that says re-launching the old studio with completely new faces will be successful. And to top everything off they no longer own some of their original IP, like Fallout, which was lost to Bethesda during legal battles.

What do you think? Drop down to the comments and give your two cents.

Obsidian is the new Black Isle. I don't see anything significant about this news other than the fact that there is a new studio opening.

Not terribly exited because none of the old employees are returning, but on the other hand, WOOHOO, some more RPGs will be made, probably.
