Overview
- Obsidian leaders acknowledge constant fan requests for a follow-up to Fallout: New Vegas but say the studio is not pursuing it right now.
- This year’s slate consists entirely of Obsidian-created properties, with leadership emphasizing the goal of growing in-house franchises and their sequels.
- VP of development Justin Britch says Xbox has been supportive of the studio’s current plans rather than pushing for a return to Fallout.
- Bethesda retains control of the Fallout IP and is occupied with other projects, with Todd Howard noting the studio is “working on even more,” which dampens near-term prospects for a New Vegas sequel.
- Interest has risen as the Fallout TV series turns to New Vegas in season 2, yet neither Obsidian nor Bethesda has announced any New Vegas 2 development.
