Lead author on Fallout: New Vegas and Horizon Zero Daybreak John Gonzalez is seemingly again at Obsidian, however no, this doesn’t suggest what you assume it means.
Look, everyone knows you desire a Fallout: New Vegas sequel, but it surely looks like Obsidian is a bit busy lately with titles just like the quickly to be launched Avowed and upcoming Outer Worlds 2, each unique IPs which are most likely loads simpler to mess around with. However I perceive that listening to the information that John Gonzalez, unique author for New Vegas, is again at Obsidian would most likely put some quantity of hope in your coronary heart. Gonzalez introduced his return to the studio in a put up over on his LinkedIn, sharing that he is joined as artistic director. Of what? Who is aware of! Nevertheless it definitely is not New Vegas 2, because the developer actually wrote, “No, it isn’t Fallout: New Vegas 2,” which I am positive will come as a disappointment to many.
It is most likely protected to imagine he is engaged on a brand new IP for Obsidian, on condition that Avowed’s launch date is true across the nook, and The Outer Wilds 2 is supposedly out someday this yr (I am positive GTA 6 can have one thing to say about that, given how a lot it is scaring off builders from really saying a launch date for video games because of be launched this yr). Obsidian has lengthy been a studio full of selection, however much more so in recent times, with video games starting from RPGs like Avowed, to historic journey video games like Pentiment, and bug-themed survival co-op video games like Grounded, so I am positive no matter Gonzalez is engaged on will likely be simply as attention-grabbing.
Gonzalez left Obsidian again in 2011, shifting onto Monolith Productions to function a author for Center-earth: Shadow of Mordor. After that he served as lead author for Horizon Zero Daybreak, in addition to narrative director on Forbidden West, so he is been loads busy within the intervening years. I am positive that have will do him loads of favours in no matter’s coming subsequent.
