    Obsidian has done a mainline Fallout before, New Vegas. And apparently Tim Cain (original Fallout 1) guy just showed back up and is working at Obsidian and said that he plans to do one last game before re-retiring. And Josh Sawyer is there, and he directed New Vegas.

    Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn’t get Bethesda to let him call it “Fallout,” so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.

    Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It’s still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it’s closer than if they just started last week.

    Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.

  According to what I read, Obsidian took New Vegas 2. Bethesda is claiming Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are being made, so I can only assume it still technically retains ownership.

  I’m not sure why many people read it as they lose the IP to Obsidian, someone even made a 20min video talking about this topic. The original article only mentioned Obsidian is developing a new Fallout.

  From what I understand, Bethesda will be making Fallout 5 while Obsidian makes New Vegas 2 or something similar. Maybe they’ll have two Fallout series now, one from each dev. Sort of like how there’s 3 studios making CoD games (I think, I haven’t touched that franchise since the 360 days).

  Multiple studios can be licensed to work on the same franchise at the same time. This isn’t anything new

    Yeah, I realize that, but from what I have heard, Microsoft took the franchise from Bethesda and gave it to Obsidian.

      No, they didn’t. They have Obsidian making an additional Fallout game
