Microsoft laid of 25% of Obsidian, cancelled the Avowed sequel and is making them make something that will be profitable.

I still can't believe that it took corpos 5 years to have this big brain idea.

At a guess, this is probably because Micro$oft is breathing down Todd Howard's neck for Elder Scrolls 6 and they realise, given Starfield's development saga, that Bethesda isn't gonna be free do a new Fallout anytime soon. Why have Obsidian make a followup to Avowed when they could rush out a Fallout to capitalise on the next season of that fuckass TV show?

Nobody should be excited for this, however, as Outer Worlds was utterly forgettable and Obsidian likely won't come close to a New Vegas 2.

Also Fallout (1997) is the only good one.
