From what I understand, Bethesda will be making Fallout 5 while Obsidian makes New Vegas 2 or something similar. Maybe they’ll have two Fallout series now, one from each dev. Sort of like how there’s 3 studios making CoD games (I think, I haven’t touched that franchise since the 360 days).
Obsidian has done a mainline Fallout before, New Vegas, so there’s precedent. And apparently Tim Cain (original Fallout, created the series) guy just showed back up in the last few months and is working at Obsidian and said that he plans to do one last game before re-retiring. And Josh Sawyer is there, and he directed New Vegas.
EDIT: And John Gonzales, the lead designer for New Vegas.
And Bethesda has said that they’re gonna be contributing.
That’s a lot of mainline Fallout head honchos in one place. First time I think that all of those have been together.
I mean, yeah, I guess it’s not impossible that they’re gonna do a spin-off, Fallout Shelter-like, but my money is that it’s gonna be mainline.
EDIT2: By “mainline”, I’m including Fallout: New Vegas, even if it didn’t have a number, fit between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I don’t think that many people would call that a spin-off.
Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn’t get Bethesda to let him call it “Fallout,” so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.
Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It’s still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it’s closer than if they just started last week.
Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.
According to what I read, Obsidian took New Vegas 2.
Bethesda is claiming Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters are being made, so I can only assume it still technically retains ownership.
I’m not sure why many people read it as they lose the IP to Obsidian, someone even made a 20min video talking about this topic. The original article only mentioned Obsidian is developing a new Fallout.
Didn’t they recently get rid of the Fallout IP?
I read that Obsidian took it over.

Multiple studios can be licensed to work on the same franchise at the same time. This isn’t anything new
Yeah, I realize that, but from what I have heard, Microsoft took the franchise from Bethesda and gave it to Obsidian.
theres no way theyll just hand the fallout ip to obsidian like that. theyre just making another spin off
