Which means between 60 and 70 employees<\/strong>. Which will, in turn, make development of this new project harder.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Obsidian will keep its own projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/grounded-2.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Grounded 2<\/a> and the planned post-launch content for <a href=\"https:\/\/the-outer-worlds-2.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">The Outer Worlds 2<\/a>, a sequel to Avowed has been canceled and they will devote themselves to making a new installment for Fallout. <strong>An absolute anomaly because, for 16 years now, Todd Howard, director of Starfield, hasn&#8217;t allowed anyone to make games in the Fallout or The Elder Scrolls franchises without his direct involvement<\/strong>. Precisely since Obsidian released, in 2010 and after being given barely 18 months of development, the acclaimed and much-loved Fallout: New Vegas.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, according to Bloomberg, the person in charge of making this new Fallout will be the director of New Vegas: Josh Sawyer.<strong> <\/strong>Who, they say, had been working on a game \u201cstructurally and thematically similar to Fallout,\u201d but which formally was not going to be part of the franchise**. But considering that Fallout hasn&#8217;t received a new installment since <a href=\"https:\/\/fallout-76.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Fallout 76<\/a>, in 2018, and given the tremendous success of the series on Prime Video, it seems logical that Xbox would want to capitalize on the franchise&#8217;s fame. Even if Todd Howard doesn&#8217;t like it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg, in a recent report, has said that Obsidian, the studio behind landmark titles like Fallout: New Vegas, but also behind recent titles as acclaimed as Avowed or The Outer Worlds, could be behind the next installment in the Fallout franchise.
