Multiple reports say Obsidian Entertainment is working on a new Fallout game. Metro reports that after Xbox lays off roughly a quarter of Obsidian’s workforce, Xbox commissions the studio to make a new Fallout title. TechRadar also says Obsidian is developing a Fallout project, tying it to Xbox’s restructuring strategy and pointing to internal plan changes at the studio. TechRadar specifically notes that previously discussed plans for Avowed 2 were scrapped, and that the Fallout work follows those changes.

Across both sources, the central points are that Obsidian is the studio behind the new Fallout project and that the development decision is linked to recent Xbox organizational and project shifts. The reports do not provide confirmed release dates, platform details, or comprehensive creative specifics about the new game. In addition, neither source fully details the budget or development timeline beyond describing the broader restructuring context.
