Bethesda Announces New Fallout Game For 2010

Posted by Soulskill on from the back-for-more dept.

On Monday Bethesda announced a new title in the popular Fallout series called New Vegas, set for release sometime in 2010. It's planned for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. They said it wasn't a sequel to the highly-acclaimed Fallout 3, but rather a brand new game set in the same universe, though they confirmed that it will be similar in style to Fallout 3. The new game will be developed by Obsidian Entertainment, a studio containing members of the original Fallout team, which Bethesda's Pete Hines discussed in an interview with Shacknews. The Fallout series also made headlines earlier this week when Bethesda trademarked the name for TV and film.

    it just encourages this sort of short-term corporate money grubbing, and shows people Bethesda could really give a shit about their customers, they're in it for the money, and that's it.

    Says the proud owner of a Sony product.

    I hope this game isn't brought down by bullshit polarized moral choices too. Kill woman in house, don't lose karma. Steal her toaster though, lose karma. Post about it on slashdot, regain karma.

      This is after the apocalypse. Nobody's making toasters anymore. Human life is cheap but toasters are priceless.

      If making post-apocalyptic toast is more important than the repopulation of our species.

    Fallout: San Andreas? Are they going to go the GTA route with that?

    What... a Fallout game set in and around the ruins of Los Angeles? What a novel idea!
