He then moved to being a contractor, contributing to The Outer Worlds 2. Obsidian has yet to announce its next project. Last month, Obsidian developers said they were well aware that whenever the studio announces a new game, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/obsidian-knows-whenever-it-announces-a-new-game-everyone-asks-about-fallout-new-vegas-2-but-it-loves-making-original-ip-and-sequels-to-them\">people ask where Fallout: New Vegas 2 is<\/a>, but they also love how they\u2019ve been able to create new IP and even release sequels to them.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fallout Season 2 is set to hit Prime Video this December, and while Bethesda has <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/fallout-new-vegas-15th-anniversary-bundle-announced-on-fallout-day-here-are-the-contents\"><u>a new Fallout: New Vegas bundle<\/u><\/a> up its sleeve, there\u2019s no word yet on a Fallout remaster or a Fallout: New Vegas 2 to capitalize on the surge of interest in the franchise. Obsidian is of course the developer of the much-loved 2010 RPG Fallout: New Vegas, so fans often wonder whether it will return to the setting for a sequel, especially given it\u2019s now owned by Bethesda parent company Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Obsidian, though, has focused on making brand new games, and it is prolific in doing so. It\u2019s released Grounded (Grounded 2 came out this year), fantasy RPG Avowed (which came out this year), and sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds (The Outer Worlds 2 came out this year). Pentiment, which came out last year, was another brand new game, although I wouldn\u2019t expect a sequel to that any time soon.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Last month, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/fallout-3-remaster\"><u>Fallout 3 remaster<\/u><\/a> that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/oblivion-remaster-fallout-3-remaster-and-more-leaked-from-microsoft-document\"><u>leaked back in 2023<\/u><\/a> was said to be still in the works.
