A whole new game is on the way.

April 20, 2009 - Bethesda has announced a new entrant into the Fallout franchise, subtitled New Vegas. Details are slim at the moment as Bethesda is remaining tight-lipped, but a few bits of information were provided. The game is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment and is due out sometime in 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The game is not a direct sequel to Fallout 3, though it is an RPG and Bethesda has said that you can expect the "same type of game," despite the fact that a different developer is working on it.

 

Bethesda did not go into specifics on gameplay or what engine would be used, but a spokesperson did mention that you can "make educated guesses" on those matters. While we're in the guessing mood, we're guessing the game will be set in a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas. IGN has been told we can expect a full reveal when Obsidian is ready to show it.

 

Obsidian Entertainment was founded by members of Interplay's Black Isle Studio -- the group that worked on the original Fallout games -- after it was disbanded. Bethesda has said it approached Obsidian regarding this project and an agreement was quickly reached It has a projected release date of 2010 and will be available on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

 

Las Vegas was one of the main and most central cities in Wasteland, the predecessor to the Fallout series. The fat mobster mentioned by Tycho is a reference to Fat Freddy, a character from Wasteland

Developers

Fallout: New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a company founded by Feargus Urquhart and Chris Avellone, two of the makers of Fallout 2 (originally at Black Isle Studios). It is not currently known whether Avellone and Urquhart will be involved. The entire development team is not yet known, but it is known that the project is led by J.E. Sawyer, one of the lead designers of Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 project by Black Isle Studios.

Other people at Obsidian who worked on previous Fallout games include Chris Jones, Chris Parker, Darren Monahan, Jesse Reynolds and Rich Taylor. At least some of them are likely to be on the New Vegas team.

 

FAQ

 

 

What is Fallout: New Vegas?

Fallout: New Vegas is a futuristic post-apocalyptic RPG set in an alternate universe based on 50s sci-fi pulp fiction, as if the world had stopped during the optimistic 50s and found itself in a dystopian post-apocalyptic reality. It will make use of the gameplay style of Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3[1], however, with a brand new story and setting.

I think Vegas is gonna be fun to explore and stuff because of all the big buildings. I'm not sure how they're gonna do the story line for this. In all the others you come out of a vault so maybe there is a vault in Vegas?
