Bethesda Softworks announced that Obsidian Entertainment is developing a brand-new Fallout game titled Fallout: New Vegas, to release next year on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Gamasutra was at Bethesda's event in London to hear the game announced by marketing and PR VP Pete Hines, who provided few specifics on the game's engine, gameplay or perspective -- but did note the game's neither a Fallout sequel nor a spin-off. "It's not Fallout Tactics -- it's not Brotherhood Of Steel," said Hines. "It has no impact on what [Fallout EP] Todd Howard and his guys are planning." A number of Obsidian staff are veterans of Black Isle's original Fallout games. "We've really been enjoying working with [Obsidian] on it," Hines said. "That is all we're going to say about it right now," he added.

Nice. Just started back up Fallout 3 after a pretty big break from it. Too much The Show, APF and Empire Total War.

I don't understand what's happening here. Bethesda dev'd fallout3 and oblivion - from what I can remember didin't obsidian develop in part oblivion or the elder scrolls game before that?

What is happening here is mainly what I want to know - 'this is neither spinoff nor sequel' ...so is it a merged development team w/ some members from the original fallout series?

Obsidian had nothing to do with any bethesda game. Ever.

Beth is just owner of the license and Obsidian will be responsible for creating the game using the Fallout 3 engine. What level of control bethesda has over the project is unknown at this time.

Not many creators of the original Fallout are still with Obsidian, but a lot are still around from Fallout part 2.
