However, if Bethesda doesn’t outsource the IP to a third-party developer at some point in the next decade, it’s unlikely the studio will have time to develop a new Fallout game between Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6. In short, there is no confirmation that Fallout: New Vegas 2 is in the works. If true this could make New Vegas 2's development more likely, especially with Obsidian busy developing IPs like The Outer Worlds and Avowed which seem specifically designed to target a similar spot in the RPG market. McVicker claims that Obsidian “likely won’t have anything to do with” Fallout: New Vegas 2, however. When Fallout: New Vegas received an 84 on Metacritic, Obsidian missed out on a bonus from Bethesda that required an 85 on Metacritic. One of the biggest perceived roadblocks to Fallout: New Vegas 2’s development is the controversy over the original New Vegas’ release. McVicker went on to claim that he suspected that Fallout: New Vegas 2 would come in “the latter half of this decade.” Leaker Tyler McVicker, who has reliably leaked titles in development in the past, claimed last month to have “a lot” of information about Fallout: New Vegas 2.

There are a few reasons to suspect that Fallout: New Vegas 2 could be in development, though Bethesda has not confirmed it.
