Bethesda says that Obsidian’s ‘creative identity’ will be preserved, just months after multiple projects were cancelled and it was told to make a Fallout game
Bethesda says Obsidian will retain its creative identity while collaborating on a new Fallout project, despite recent restructuring that has raised concerns about the studio’s independence. The reassurance follows reports that Microsoft cancelled several Obsidian projects and redirected some staff towards Fallout development.
Around 25% of Obsidian’s workforce was reportedly laid off, with projects including an Avowed sequel cancelled. The new Fallout game is reportedly being led by Josh Sawyer, director of Fallout: New Vegas, although details and a release date remain unknown.
