Tyranny put players in the role of a high-ranking official for an evil overlord who has already seized control of the land. It's your job to set up a new world order by inspiring fear or loyalty into your subjects.

Obsidian has promised a dynamic storyline where your decisions drastically impact the shape of the game's world and narrative. There will also be real-time party-based combat.

For more on Tyranny, our Chris Bratt took a look at it back in March.
