It's been a while since we have heard anything new about the planned game adapations of The Wheel of Time fantasy novel series but today Red Eagle Games announced that Obsidian Entertainment will be assisting them in the making of the games. Obsidian is of course well suited to this type of project based on their previous RPG track record.

Red Eagle Games first announced their plans to make game based on the late Robert Jordan's fantasy series in 2008. At the time they announced plans for both a conventional game series as well as an MMO based on The Wheel of Time universe. It's unclear if Obsidian is assisting Red Eagle Games with both the regular game or the MMO or both.
