A former Obsidian Entertainment studio lead has revealed that another Fallout role-playing game was in development at the studio before publisher Bethesda cancelled the project "a while ago." The disclosure matters because Obsidian previously created the widely acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas, and fans have long hoped the studio would return to the post-apocalyptic series.

According to the report, the unannounced RPG did not progress to release, with Bethesda ultimately deciding to halt the work. The comments offer a rare glimpse into a Fallout project that never reached the public, though details on how far the game had advanced or why it was scrapped remain limited.
