Microsoft\u2019s September 22, 2026<\/strong> reorganization of Xbox Game Studios put Obsidian Entertainment under Bethesda, and that could end up meaning a lot for Fallout players. Reports say Obsidian is working on a new Fallout, while Bethesda Game Studios is still only in early pre-production on Fallout 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move lines up with a broader Xbox reset. Microsoft seems to be narrowing its focus to a smaller set of big franchises, including Fallout<\/strong>, The Elder Scrolls, and Diablo, rather than leaning as heavily on the semi-independent studio model that helped fuel Game Pass.<\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s other context here too: consolidation, layoffs, and changes affecting Halo and Forza. Seen against all that, shifting Obsidian under Bethesda looks like a clear signal<\/strong> about where Xbox wants to put its biggest RPG weight.<\/p>\n\n

Obsidian Entertainment was founded in 2003<\/strong> and bought by Microsoft in 2018. The studio made its name with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II<\/a>, Pillars of Eternity<\/a>, The Outer Worlds, and Fallout: New Vegas.<\/p>\n\n

Reports have also pointed to Fallout 3<\/a><\/strong> and Fallout: New Vegas remasters. That would give players a steadier run of Fallout releases while the series keeps its mainstream momentum.<\/p>\n\n

If you want more Fallout sooner, this is one to watch.<\/p>\n\n

Matt Booty has said Obsidian Entertainment<\/strong> will keep supporting Grounded<\/a>, but he didn\u2019t say anything about Avowed<\/a> or other original IP. Reports also suggest an Avowed sequel may have been sidelined or canceled.<\/p>\n\n

You can keep up with these projects through Xbox, PC, and Bethesda\u2019s official channels.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
