""They were the only choice," Howard told Game Informer (via GamesRadar). "They had done something similar with [Star Wars] Knights of the Old Republic 2, and we knew them really well. We knew we were going onto Skyrim, the franchise was back, but we knew there was going to be a long break until Fallout 4--how can we keep this going?""
"Howard also said that the only note Bethesda had ahead of development was to focus on the game's warring factions and the players' ability to choose between them. "The thing that made New Vegas special was the ferocious focus on choice-and-consequence gameplay," added John Gonzalez, the lead creative designer for New Vegas. "It's all about allowing the player to have tremendous amounts of narrative impact, narrative control.""
"For now, there's only a pricey Fallout: New Vegas 15th anniversary collector's bundle coming in June 2026 that's retailing for $155. And that's only for PC users. Howard has remained elusive about the status of Fallout 5, which isn't expected to arrive until well after The Elder Scrolls 6. But he has said that Fallout is " the franchise that we're doing the most in right now." The current second season of Prime Video's Fallout series is set in and around New Vegas."
Fallout: New Vegas celebrates its 15th anniversary, developed by Obsidian Entertainment after Bethesda selected Obsidian due to prior Fallout experience and work on Knights of the Old Republic 2. Obsidian's founders previously worked on the original Fallout and a canceled Fallout 3, which positioned the studio as a natural fit. Bethesda's primary direction for the project emphasized warring factions and meaningful player choice. Lead creative designer John Gonzalez credits the game's ferocious focus on choice-and-consequence gameplay for its impact. Demand for a remaster has grown, with Danny Trejo publicly calling for one. A $155 15th anniversary PC collector's bundle ships June 2026. Fallout 5 remains unannounced; Prime Video's second season is set around New Vegas.
