Obsidian Leisure allegedly pitched a number of spin-off video games for Bethesda’s franchises exploring totally different settings however they had been finally rejected.
Former Obsidian author Chris Avellone, he mentioned, “One of many Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was supposed to serve the identical operate as FNV did between F3 and F4, to offer extra adventures within the setting throughout the years earlier than the subsequent Bethesda launch.”
Sadly, all of Obsidian’s concepts had been rejected and the studio did not launch a spin-off in the identical vein after Fallout: New Vegas.
“I assumed it could not damage to try to push the same system to what Treyarch/Activision had going with Name of Responsibility on the time (however hopefully much less rushed),” he continued. “Bethesda might do a core launch, then we would launch a TES title (in similar world or a divergent timeline/period) earlier than the subsequent large Bethesda push.”

Avellone went on to say that now that the Elder Scrolls On-line exists, the thought of a Fallout: New Vegas-style Elder Scrolls sport does not make sense anymore. Nonetheless, he mentioned it made sense to him on the time. He additionally talked about that he by no means acquired the impression that Bethesda was proud of Fallout: New Vegas’s reception, good or dangerous.
Satirically, now each Bethesda and Obsidian are below Microsoft’s first occasion portfolio. Obsidian has expressed curiosity in going again to Fallout: New Vegas, together with each probably remastering the sport in addition to making a sequel.
It is unclear whether or not Obsidian will ever get one other shot once more. Proper now, Bethesda is engaged on the subsequent mainline entries of their respective franchises, The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5.
