Last week was the Fallout series’ 25th anniversary, and although it was a great day full of love for the franchise, it also brought the rather unfortunate news that Obsidian, the devs behind Fallout: New Vegas, aren’t currently working on a sequel or remake of the iconic title, despite recent rumours.
“Happy 25th Anniversary to the original Fallout! A franchise whose roots helped form us and a world we truly love. And before anyone asks, our plates are pretty full right now, so no,” the devs tweeted at the time. However, according to DualShockers, a New Vegas sequel isn’t out of the picture yet.
Before we get into it, take a look at some gameplay footage for the huge fan-made Fallout 4 mod, Fallout London, below.
In a new interview, Feargus Urquhart, the CEO of Obsidian, told DualShockers that the team would absolutely jump on the opportunity to make a new Fallout title, they just need to be asked: “Of course, if we ever got the opportunity to make another Fallout game, we’d make it. There’s not even a question of whether or not we would do it, it’s just ‘will the opportunity arise?’” Urquhart said. “I hung around at Interplay for probably an extra year because I wanted to work on Fallout more. I love Fallout.”

Lining up with Obsidian’s tweet from last week, Urquhart confirmed that the studio is pretty busy right now, but once their current projects are complete, they can start looking at new things: “At some point we'll start looking into what those next games are going to be, and I would be surprised if Fallout is not on that list,” he said. “If we were to do Fallout, it has to tie in with what Bethesda is doing with Fallout and a lot of other things, but I would always personally say my hope is that before I ride off into the sunset, I'd love to make another Fallout game.”
