New Vegas Director Eager to Helm Next Fallout Series Entry

The director of *Fallout: New Vegas*, Josh Sawyer, along with several other developers from the *Fallout* series, have voiced their interest in returning to work on a new installment. However, their enthusiasm comes with a significant condition: they want the freedom to innovate and explore new creative avenues within the franchise.

In a recent episode of his YouTube Q&A series, Sawyer expressed his willingness to develop another *Fallout* game, but emphasized that his participation would hinge on the creative boundaries set for the project. "Any project has to do with 'what are we doing, what are the boundaries, what am I allowed to do and not allowed to do?'" he stated. He further elaborated that overly restrictive constraints would make the project unappealing, as it would limit his ability to explore new ideas.

Echoing Sawyer's sentiments, *Fallout* co-creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky have also shown interest in revisiting the series. In an interview with The Gamer last year, Cain mentioned their willingness to work on a remaster of *Fallout: New Vegas*, but stressed that their return would depend on the level of creative freedom they would be granted. Cain highlighted that the novelty and innovation in each RPG he has worked on have been key motivators for him. "Every RPG I've ever made offered me something new and different that got me interested in making it," he said. He added that any new *Fallout* game would need to offer something unique to pique his interest.

Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has also expressed a desire to work on another *Fallout* game before retiring. However, in an interview with Game Pressure from January last year, he confirmed that no new *Fallout* game was currently in development at Obsidian. Urquhart noted that the studio's current focus is on other projects like *Avowed*, *Grounded*, and *Outer Worlds 2*. He mentioned that discussions about new games might not happen until the end of 2023, but he remains hopeful about the possibility of returning to the *Fallout* series in the future.
