Mysterious "Project X" teaser appears on Obsidian's website

An apparent countdown has appeared on RPG developer Obsidian's site . It depicts a number four in the middle of a serpent eating its own tail (reminiscent of the Norse Jormungandr or Classical Ouroboros). The caption beneath reads: "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 on the number sends you to a forum for "Project X Speculation & Discussion." We're guessing that Obsidian may be working on some kind of Irish/Gaelic-themed project - likely a story-based RPG, based on its past work. We don't know when or if the number will become a three - it may not be a countdown at all - but with four days left in the work week, it's a good guess. If we're lucky, they'll tell us what the craic is going on this Friday
