Obsidian also can’t tease a video game without fans frothing at the mouth at the idea that it could be New Vegas 2. Many people previously involved with the first game can’t even Instagram an innocuous picture without being asked if, perhaps, they are teasing New Vegas 2. Since then, the appetite for Fallout New Vegas 2 has been enormous. Fallout 3 was a hit when it came out, but Bethesda proper was largely focused on Skyrim development, so it contracted a studio that had many developers who already worked with the property before to make the spin-off happen. The only reason that New Vegas got made in the first place was mostly timing. It’s been nearly a decade since we got the role-playing masterpiece that is Fallout: New Vegas, and while it is widely considered one of the best games in the genre, chances of a follow-up seemed slim. And now Microsoft also owns the studio that owns the Fallout license. Microsoft already owns Obsidian, the storied RPG-maker. Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda Studios will undoubtedly have far-reaching consequences for next-gen and gaming as a whole, but if you ask me, there’s only one distinct possibility that starts to get my mouth watering.
