Obsidian boss Feargus Urquhart would ‘love to make another Fallout’
Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has said he’d love to work on another Fallout game given the chance.
The RPG veteran was involved in the production of the first two Fallout games during his time at Black Isle Studios and Interplay Entertainment in the late 1990s, and Obsidian developed 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas.

But in a newly published interview with Game Pressure, Urquhart suggested a new Fallout game from the studio isn’t currently on the cards.
“We’re not working on Fallout, and we haven’t even talked about what it would be”, he claimed.
Urquhart, who was interviewed in December, suggested Obsidian might be ready to start discussing new projects in late 2023.

It’s funny – you can say I’m already 52, or only 52. It’s one of those two, depending on the day. My hope is that’ll happen, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
Fallout New Vegas director Josh Sawyer also recently said he could see himself working
