An exciting rumor has emerged for loyal fans of the Fallout series. Nearly ten years have passed since the release of Fallout 4, and while Bethesda Game Studios is focusing all of its resources on the development of The Elder Scrolls 6, it has been claimed that Obsidian Entertainment is working on a brand new side project to fill a potential gap in the series. It is stated that Obsidian, who previously brought to life a cult title such as Fallout: New Vegas, will this time focus on the vast and dangerous world of Fallout 4.
Is the Obsidian Touch Being Revived in the Fallout 4 World?
The source of these striking claims is the Xbox platform-based content creator YouTuber Colt Eastwood. Eastwood claims that the development process of the new Fallout game in question began in secret a few years ago and that the project could meet players in 2026 at the earliest. It is known that Obsidian Entertainment is currently preparing to release the highly anticipated fantasy role-playing game Avowed and is actively working on another ambitious project, The Outer Worlds 2. Therefore, it is a matter of great curiosity what resources the studio has allocated for this new Fallout project and what stage the development process is at.
Potential Collaboration Within Microsoft
Microsoft’s ownership of both Fallout series creator Bethesda Softworks and New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment makes such a collaboration scenario quite possible. Bethesda’s inability to fully focus on Fallout 5 at the moment makes it a logical step to develop a new spin-off project that would satisfy the longing of the series’ fanbase. Furthermore, Obsidian’s unique narrative style, deep character development, and player-choice-based gameplay that it previously brought to the series with Fallout: New Vegas significantly increase expectations for this potential new game. The fact that Fallout: New Vegas is still one of the most beloved and respected games in the series also fuels this expectation.
Uncertainties and Expectations Reign
However, the authenticity of this exciting leak has not yet been officially confirmed. There is no concrete information yet on the basic issues such as the current development stage of the alleged project, which gaming platforms it will be released on, or what kind of story it will tell. Moreover, this information has only been mentioned by a single source at the moment. There has been no official statement from Xbox, Bethesda Softworks, or Obsidian Entertainment to confirm or deny these claims.
Despite all this uncertainty, the possibility of Obsidian Entertainment’s unique touch to the Fallout universe has already created a great wave of excitement and anticipation among players. If these claims are true, players could encounter brand new characters, challenging choices, and a gripping story in the same time period that Fallout 4 takes place. However, until an official statement is made through official channels, it would be wise to approach this exciting information with caution. Fallout fans continue to eagerly await official announcements from Microsoft and the relevant studios.
