Does anyone remember Grounded? It was supposed to be developed by Obsidian as an Xbox exclusive. Did that game actually come out? It did seemingly launch as a Game Preview title last year. Since then, it appears that Grounded has continued to remain operational and even receive improvements. In fact, despite the game's questionable existence, it just received the major 'Doom & Shroom Update' today.

E3 2021 is the first E3 since Microsoft acquired Bethesda, and today’s Microsoft and Bethesda Games Showcase is the first joint E3 press conference from the two companies. The 90-minute event revealed a number of new and previously announced games that will be coming to Xbox and PC in 2021 and 2022. Naturally, we’re most psyched for the 10 co-op games featured in the showcase.

Unless you count Birdemic (and you shouldn't), you'd have to look all the way back to Alfred Hitchcock's Birds for the last instance of avian-centric fear. Fortunately for us, Obsidian Entertainment has taken up the mantle by introducing a new, feathery terror to their survival game, Grounded. 

Obsidian Entertainment's upcoming adventure survival game, Grounded, is almost ready for the big (little) leagues.  It's headed for an Early Access release later this summer, which will give the developers a chance to make some final tweaks and additions based on player input.

The other co-op game that was announced/revealed during Microsoft's XO19 was a bit of a surprise, considering the developer. Obsidian, who just released the popular The Outer Worlds RPG, is shifting gears a bit with their next title, Grounded - a game where you have to survive in a backyard after being shrunk to the size of an ant. I mean, I guess every other iteration of a survival game has been done at this point?
