Obsidian Visits Fallout S2 Set: New Vegas Legacy Honored
In a groundbreaking development that has the gaming world abuzz, Obsidian Entertainment, the critically acclaimed developers behind the beloved Fallout: New Vegas, have officially visited the set of Prime Video's highly anticipated Fallout Season 2. This monumental occasion, confirmed by Bethesda's own Todd Howard, signals a profound nod to the game's enduring legacy as the television series prepares to heavily feature the iconic New Vegas setting.
Todd Howard Extends Invitation to Obsidian
Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer, Todd Howard, speaking exclusively to PC Gamer, revealed he personally extended the invitation to the Obsidian team. "Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian," Howard stated, underscoring the collaborative spirit. "Had them out to the set to see this," referring to the detailed recreation of the New Vegas environment for the upcoming season. This visit solidifies the profound impact Fallout: New Vegas, originally released in 2010, continues to have on the broader franchise narrative.
Obsidian's Banner Year Acknowledged
Howard's praise wasn't limited to the past; he also lauded Obsidian's recent achievements. "they've had just an incredible year, if you look at the year they've had," he commented. Indeed, 2025 has been a monumental period for the developer, witnessing the successful launches of two major titles: the highly anticipated RPG Avowed and the sequel to their acclaimed sci-fi adventure, The Outer Worlds 2. This dual success further elevates the studio's standing ahead of their involvement with the live-action series.
Fallout Season 2 Premieres December 17 on Prime Video
The second season of the Fallout live-action series is set to debut later this month, specifically on December 17, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video. Unlike its predecessor, which dropped all episodes at once, Season 2 will adopt a weekly release schedule, building anticipation with each installment. The decision to prominently feature New Vegas, drawing direct inspiration from Obsidian's 2010 masterpiece, has ignited significant excitement among long-time fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG series.
The Future of Fallout: New Vegas (The Game)
While the focus shifts to the small screen, the original game continues to thrive. A 15th-anniversary bundle for Fallout: New Vegas is confirmed for release next year, celebrating its enduring impact. However, persistent rumors of a direct sequel, Fallout: New Vegas 2, continue to be actively "squashed." Notably, former New Vegas writer John Gonzalez returned to Obsidian earlier this year but explicitly stated he is not working on a sequel. Furthermore, original Fallout creator Tim Cain is also back at Obsidian, with his current project remaining a tantalizing mystery, leaving fans to ponder what new wonders the studio might unleash next.
