Obsidian Acknowledges Fallout: New Vegas 2 Demand, Reaffirms 2025 Focus on Its Own Franchises

Studio leaders say Xbox backs the studio’s plan to stick to original franchises.

Overview

  • Obsidian executives say they hear constant fan requests for a New Vegas follow-up, but the team is pursuing its own projects.
  • In 2025 the studio released three self-created titles — Avowed, Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2 — with Grounded 2 currently in early access.
  • Leadership describes the strategy as building a distinct Obsidian identity after years of developing sequels to other studios’ IP.
  • Obsidian says Xbox has been supportive of the studio choosing its internal franchises over returning to Fallout.
  • There is no New Vegas sequel announced at Obsidian, and any new Fallout project would ultimately be decided by Bethesda under Microsoft.
