Journalist Jeff Grubb has returned to talk about the rumors regarding the development of Fallout: New Vegas 2 by Obsidian Entertainment, adding reasoning related to the management of the entire franchise by Microsoft.
As you may recall, a few days ago Grubb said that Obsidian and Microsoft are talking about Fallout: New Vegas 2, and after his speech, some sources reiterated that there is indeed an ongoing discussion, although the project will not materialize before. a few years, as was to be expected.
The central point of the speech, however, would be another: the Redmond house intends to exploit the intellectual property of Fallout and keep it active so that ten years do not pass between the release of one game and another.
(Update) Jeff has gotten the nod that the Fallout New Vegas conversations are true. Obsidian has a million things on their plate they think that they need to deal with first, they want to find a home for Fallout without having to wait for BGS.

For this reason, we are thinking about entrusting the eventual realization of New Vegas 2 to Obsidian Entertainment, but there are also rumors about the possibility of commissioning a chapter from InXile Entertainment, all while the work at Bethesda continues.
In short, according to Jeff Grubb at the moment all the hypotheses are on the table and it is still early to talk about specific projects, but one thing is clear: Microsoft has every intention of relaunching the Fallout brand and making it one of its pillars in future.
