Fallout is a legendary post-apocalyptic RPG series run by Bethesda and ZeniMax, currently part of Xbox after the 2021 acquisition. The studio is working on Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI, among other projects, leaves Fallout fans desperate for even the vaguest hope of getting a new Fallout game within the next decade. With Todd Howard’s Bethesda seemingly tied, fans are increasingly wondering if another Xbox studio will take charge.
Obsidian Entertainment, most recently known for The Outer Worlds, and grounded, also founded Fallout New Vegas. While Fallout New Vegas was problematic at launch, it’s now considered one of the best in the entire series, with Obsidian’s signature impressive narrative acumen and aggressive attention to player agency.
Fans got hope years Obsidian can take charge of Fallout again, hoping the team will deliver a spiritual or direct sequel to Fallout New Vegas. Obsidian during Fallout’s 25th anniversary celebrations joked on twitter In response to all the petitions, he said his “plate is too full to work on the franchise.” However, a new interview (through DualShockers) New Vegas offers its loyalists new hope.
Studio head Feargus Urquhart made some remarks about Obsidian’s stance on Fallout, emphasizing that they would “love” making another Fallout game. As a matter of fact, Bethesda’s aspirations will need to be in line with development timelines and other logistics.
“Of course, if we had the opportunity to make another Fallout game, we would. […] I probably stuck with Interplay for an extra year because I wanted to work more on Fallout. I love Fallout.”
“At some point we’ll start looking at what the next games will be, and I’d be surprised if Fallout isn’t on this list. […] If we were going to do Fallout, it would have to do with what Bethesda did with Fallout and a lot of other things, but I always personally hope to do it before we head off into the sunset. another Fallout game.”
Considering that both Obsidian and Bethesda now find themselves under the Microsoft umbrella, expectations for a new Fallout game from Obsidian have never been higher. It’s odd at best that Microsoft bought one of the industry’s most legendary IPs in Fallout and has yet to commit to a new mainline project.
As a Fallout fan, I hope that in a perfect world we have a studio dedicated to the development of all-new Fallout games that use the latest Bethesda technology to power the upcoming space opera RPG. star field.
