Obsidian to Lead New Fallout Game Amid Xbox Restructuring
TL;DR
Obsidian Entertainment is reportedly developing a new Fallout title led by Josh Sawyer as part of an Xbox-wide restructuring that has affected 60–70 Obsidian employees. A small team will continue work on an Avowed sequel, with other staff focusing on DLC for The Outer Worlds 2 and Grounded 2; Bethesda is expected to collaborate on the Fallout project. The broader layoffs hit Id Software and Bethesda Game Studios in Austin, among others, as Microsoft says it will support independent studios rather than owning every studio.
