With Fallout seeing a new wave of interest thanks to Amazon Prime Video’s recent Fallout TV series, Todd Howard has been reflecting on the franchise as a whole. In a recent interview, Howard clarified his thoughts on the Obsidian-developed Fallout: New Vegas, and spoke about how it might be reflected in the next season of the TV show.
Speaking on a livestreamed interview with Kinda Funny Games, Howard clarified that he thinks Obsidian “did an amazing job with New Vegas.” Responding to rumors that he hates New Vegas, Obsidian, and wants to retcon the events of the game, Howard said: “We see some of that, and I’ll say to everybody, that’s a game that we published, right? I will say Fergus, who runs Obsidian, is absolutely one of my favorite people in the video game industry.”
When asked whether Obsidian and Bethesda might be likely to collaborate again now both are owned by Microsoft, Howard said: “I can’t speak to things that we’re doing with the franchise in the future, obviously, but New Vegas is a very very important game to us and our fans, we think they did an incredible job.”
