It has been more than a decade since the spin-off title "Fallout: New Vegas" came out, but there might still be a chance for the game to get a sequel. A new report claims that the developer Obsidian Entertainment and its parent company Microsoft have started discussing the potential development of "Fallout: New Vegas 2."
The surprising update comes from notable gaming industry insider Jeff Grubb, who reported in his show "Grubbsnax" (via VGC) that the talks about "Fallout: New Vegas 2" have already started. Grubb noted, though, that the discussions are still in the "very early" stage. That means Obsidian and Microsoft have yet to decide whether or not to produce the game.
The insider added that if the companies eventually decide to make "Fallout: New Vegas 2," the game would still be "years and years away" from getting released. But the good news remains that the developer is interested in working on the sequel even though the first game was launched way back in October 2010.
"There's at least an interest and conversations happening about making something like that actually a reality," Grubb said. "A lot of people at Microsoft think that this could work and there's a lot of interest to make it happen."
This is not the first time that the possibility of "Fallout: New Vegas 2" made headlines. In 2013, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart expressed that they would also love to develop a sequel for the "Fallout" spin-off title. "Oh, we'd love to do Fallout: New Vegas 2," Urquhart said at the time. "It would be awesome."
"Fallout: New Vegas 2," as the name suggests, is set in a post-apocalyptic world with events mainly happening in a fictional version of Las Vegas. The city is called New Vegas in the game and the main plot takes place in 2281. The game saw the return of familiar "Fallout" entities, including the New California Republic from "Fallout 2." The spin-off sets up its story with the feud among the NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House in a struggle to take control of New Vegas.
