Fallout and Obsidian veterans ditch open-world game plans as team shrinks to a "skeleton crew"


Wyrdsong is now smaller in size and in team, after funding problems and layoffs.

Wyrdsong was announced as a historical fantasy game with supernatural elements set in Portugal around the forming of the Knights Templar.
