Summary
Obsidian developer, Carrie Patel, has announced she is leaving the company to take up a new position as game director at Night School Studio.
Night School had reportedly been looking for someone to fill this role earlier in the year, suggesting that this move has been in the works for a while.
Obsidian’s last release, Avowed, came out in February this year.
It is unclear why Patel left Obsidian, as she did not mention any details in her LinkedIn post.
Night School’s last release, Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, came out in 2023, and they have not released any original titles since then.
The studio was bought by Netflix in 2021, which has been known to cancel projects and studios when they are not successful.
Therefore, it is possible that Night School’s future may be uncertain.
