Most likely multiplatform, as it's still published by TakeTwo and not Microsoft.

About the scale of the project
Dancrane212 said:
Here's the quote about the scale of Private Division published games from a GameInformer article.

Private Division's unconventional approach found a receptive audience in the many talented developers burned out from working on 300-person teams and playing office politics. The first four studios that signed deals with the newly formed publisher boast impressive resumes with games like Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Halo, and Battlefield. Each is a smaller-scale project with smaller teams that maintain the production values gamers expect in a triple-A title, but deliver an experience tighter in scope and scale (think Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice). All are bringing new concepts they are passionate about to life in the hopes of finding the footing that can prove so elusive in this industry.

For some reason, it gives me a Fallout vibe, that can't be right though.

I don't of any of their existing IP's that would fit this style, so maybe something new?

This should be Project Indiana.

The role-playing veterans at Obsidian are using their Private Division partnership to reunite original Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky for a new game set in a new universe.

"It was the opportunity to work with Tim on a new IP that we were creating from scratch again, because we did it on Fallout and Arcanum and those were great experiences and I just missed doing that, says Boyarsky, who most recently worked on Diablo III for Blizzard. "I missed working on single-player, in-depth RPGs with a lot of choice, consequence, and reactivity. I like making other types of games, but there is something special about the kind of games we started with Fallout that really appeals to us and speaks to us creatively."

The duo plans to reveal more about the project at a later date, but Cain says "If people have liked our previous RPGs they're going to like this one in terms of how we make reactive worlds and especially our style of humor."

Obsidian did note that their Take-Two game had kitschy dark humor, and would maybe be a bit reminiscent of Fallout, so I suspect this fits with that.

Oh shit this must be the Cain/Boyarsky project they've been teasing for a while now. Was not expecting to see it at TGA.

This is the game Obsidian signed with Take-Two, so unless Microsoft buys Take-Two out of the deal once the acquisition is finalised it should still be a multiplatform game.

Will Obsidian still launch a third party title that's one year away from (at least) even after being bought by Microsoft? I thought that MS would get the rights for the game alongside the studio.

Anyway, can't wait to see what comes out of this!

They can buy the publishing rights for the game, you know. Not Take Two.

Obsidian announcing a darkly humorous period-aesthetic future sci fi game from Tim Cain in the midst of the fallout of... Fallout is poetic.

Getting some real "Space Cowboy" vibes from these.

An Obsidian-made action RPG set in space with Cowboy Bebop inspiration would be my jam.
