Following his departure from Fantastic Pixel Castle back in October, John Gonzalez is returning to Obsidian Entertainment. Prior to his departure, he led the writing on what has been considered among the best Fallout games — Fallout: New Vegas.
Announcing on LinkedIn, Gonzalez is returning to the studio as its creative director. Unfortunately, it is confirmed by him that no, he’s not working on a Fallout: New Vegas sequel. Considering his pedigree even post-Obsidian; working on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Horizon Forbidden West, we’re sure whatever he’s working on or overseeing will be a solid project.
We doubt he’ll be too heavily involved in either of the existing games releasing this year — Avowed, which is due out this month, and The Outer Worlds 2. Granted, it’s possible, he’ll now have some sort of hand in the latter, as the game doesn’t currently have any sort of release beyond this year.
