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 creative freedom to explore new ideas and concepts within the franchise.
But It Depends On If They Can Do Something New
In a recent episode of his Q&A series on YouTube, Josh 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?'" Sawyer stated. He further elaborated that overly restrictive constraints would make the project unappealing, as it would limit his ability to explore new ideas.
Similarly, *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 eagerness to work on a remaster of *Fallout: New Vegas*, but stressed that their return would depend on the level of creativity they are allowed. "Every RPG I've ever made offered me something new and different that got me interested in making it," Cain explained. He added that any new *Fallout* project would need to offer something unique to pique his interest.
Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has also expressed his desire to work on another *Fallout* game, though he confirmed in an interview with Game Pressure last January that no such project is currently in development. "We’re not working on *Fallout*, and we haven’t even talked about what it would be," Urquhart stated. He highlighted that Obsidian's current focus is on other projects like *Avowed*, *Grounded*, and *Outer Worlds 2*. Urquhart expressed hope that he might get the chance to work on another *Fallout* game before retiring, but acknowledged that it remains uncertain.
