PC Invasion interviewed Obsidian’s Matt MacLean about the upcoming DLCs (Bastard’s Wound will be released today):

Tyranny: Bastard’s Wound DLC Interview with Obsidian’s Matt MacLean

Back in June, amidst all the usual hubbub of E3, Obsidian announced two DLC releases for Tyranny. The first, a smaller ‘Event Pack’ called Tales from the Tiers was released immediately. A larger expansion, Bastard’s Wound, is still to come.

To find out more about Bastard’s Wound, I had a chat with Obsidian’s Matt MacLean, the narrative lead on Tyranny. Also present were Obsidian’s Julia Kernan, Mikey Dowling, and, beaming in from planet Paradox, Gustav Groth. MacLean was understandably reticent about story-related matters in Bastard’s Wound and, as you’ll see from the transcript, feels that too much information is already out there. On all other topics he was open and engaging.

Read on for details about the upcoming expansion, how it will reintroduce the Beastmen, and Obsidian’s structural philosophy for replayability in Tyranny. There are also tidbits about the concurrent free update that will come alongside Bastard’s Wound to add a little more to the game’s third act. Bastard’s Wound doesn’t have a release date yet, but Paradox told me to expect one soon.

PC Invasion: Whereabouts in the game’s three acts does Bastard’s Wound slot into the story?

Matt McLean: This DLC is designed to be accessible to players who are at almost any point in the game. We put most of the action in the second Act of the game, to make it accessible to players on any of the major branches of the quest.
