A writer who worked on Fallout: New Vegas says only 16 people who developed the game are still employed at Obsidian, highlighting how much the studio has changed since the 2010 RPG was made. The remark matters because fans often call for a New Vegas follow-up, but it suggests any such project would be made by a very different team from the one behind the original.

The claim comes from the game’s original writer and is presented as a reminder of staff turnover over time rather than an announcement about a sequel or remake. In practical terms, the figure of 16 surviving team members underlines that more than a decade has passed since New Vegas launched, during which Obsidian has worked on other projects and undergone major internal changes. The article frames this as useful context for fan expectations about who would actually be making a new Fallout game at the studio today.
