Bethesda Confirms Obsidian’s New Fallout Project, Fuels PS6 Speculation
Bethesda has confirmed a new Fallout project is in development, with Obsidian Entertainment partnering on the next entry—an announcement that has quickly fueled speculation about what platforms the game could eventually land on, including the possibility of a future PlayStation 6 release.
Obsidian is teaming up on a new Fallout project
In a studio update letter posted on social media, Bethesda outlined what’s next for Bethesda Game Studios. Alongside ongoing work on Fallout 76 and plans that include remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, the company confirmed that it has a separate new Fallout project in development.
Bethesda also revealed the new Fallout game will be developed with longtime partner Obsidian Entertainment. In its statement, Bethesda said it is “happy to confirm they’re working with us on a new Fallout project,” adding that it will share more details in the future.
What Bethesda said (and what it didn’t)
Bethesda’s message confirmed the existence of a new Fallout project and Obsidian’s involvement, but it did not provide concrete specifics such as release window, gameplay details, or supported platforms.
Because Bethesda’s announcement did not include an official platform list, observers have begun asking whether the project could be planned for PlayStation 6—depending on timing and the factors around when the console launches.
Why Obsidian’s involvement matters
Obsidian Entertainment is best known for developing Fallout: New Vegas, a release that helped establish the studio as one of the major RPG developers in the industry. Since then, Obsidian has worked on a range of RPGs and other titles, including the Pillars of Eternity series, The Outer Worlds, Grounded, and Avowed.

- A future update from Bethesda with more details about the new Fallout project.
- Any clarification on whether the game is tied to current-generation platforms or later hardware such as PlayStation 6.
- Additional information on how the project fits alongside Fallout 76 updates and the announced Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters.
