After weeks of rumors, Bethesda has announced that developer Obsidian Entertainment is indeed working on a new one Fall-out game. Although this game seems to be separate from Fallout 5details surrounding the game's setting and story are unclear. Obsidian's previous work on the franchise includes developing the fan-favorite Fallout: New Vegasand director Josh Sawyer returns to helm this Fall-out project as well.
This confirmation comes after the recent upheaval at Xbox, where over 3,200 employees were laid off as part of a restructuring within the company. Both Obsidian and Bethesda were hit by these layoffs and apparently work shifted internally towards more Fall-out experiences. As a result, Obsidian's work on Avowed 2 was reportedly discontinued in favor of this new one Fall-out game, but there seems to be little hope for it Avowed 2 will still be released one day, with a small team continuing to work on it.

While this statement doesn't go into detail about what players can expect from the project, credible insiders have reported that the new Obsidian-developed Fall-out the game will be a modern first-person RPG experience. This should allay some fears that Obsidian was only used to work on a spin-off game, and while it's not clear if this game will be Fallout: New Vegas 2it is unlikely to be anything other than the modern Fall-out gameplay fans have come to expect from Fallout 3 Forward.
