The latest decisions made by Xbox continue to draw a new path for some of its most important franchises. Among them is Fallout, a saga that, according to recent information, would once again be handled by one of the most beloved studios by fans.

Everything points to Obsidian Entertainment being the team in charge of the next main project related to the license, a news that has awakened enormous expectation among those who still consider Fallout: New Vegas as one of the best deliveries of the entire franchise.

The Fallout: New Vegas team would return to lead the saga

Published information suggests that Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas, would return to the forefront of the new project. If confirmed, it would mean the return of one of the creatives most linked to the Fallout universe and a decision that many players have been waiting for years.

This move also fits with Xbox’s new strategy, which seeks to concentrate resources on some of its most important intellectual properties after the company’s recent restructuring. However, the news arrives at a complicated time for Obsidian. The studio has also been affected by the latest round of layoffs within Microsoft, and various reports indicate that the development of an Avowed sequel would have been canceled, allowing part of the team to focus on Fallout.

Meanwhile, rumors about a possible remastering of Fallout: New Vegas continue to circulate, a project that could serve as a prelude to the arrival of a new installment in the saga. For now, neither Xbox nor Bethesda has made an official announcement, so it’s best to take all this information with caution until the company confirms its plans.
