Fallout New Vegas II

Not that much of a joke, it's certainly one of the rumours. Though given the current trend FONV remasterised seems more likely.

It has, after all, been 9 years since Fallout IV. If left only to Bethesda it'd be the best part of two decades between games. Would also potentially tie into the TV series.

Wasn't NCR nuked into oblivion in the show or something

[Zoraptor]

Yep. Then the remains were killed off in the finale...

You don't really need the NCR for a sequel though, even if the talk isn't just using 'FONV2' as shorthand. A strict FONV sequel in the same way as, say, tWitcher 2/3 were sequels to the first game was never likely. You'd expect something similar to the first two Fallout games at most.

My guess is it is not a unique IP. With Grounded, Avowed, and TOW, they are pretty set on their own IP's. So I'm guessing they are tackling something in the MIcrosoft library.

Dungeon Siege 4.

And Uwe Boll is gonna direct the TV spots premiering during Superbowl TV piss break.

I might actually buy a remastered FO:NV.  Not 100% for sure sure, but there'd be a good chance if it was done well (subjective I know).

So ... unrealistic to hope that it could be PoE3?

There have also been stories out there that Wizards of the Coast has been shopping around for devs to take on new D&D games in the aftermath of BG3's financial success, including a BG4. Now I'm quite sure Obsidian will pass on a BG4. But what about a NwN3, especially given the current timing of an "enhanced" edition of NwN2?

Also, Tyranny2?

Tyranny 2 is off the table because believe it is owned by Paradox. PoE3 seems unlikely because of sales numbers of PoE2, although it could be a small team working on it. 

A NWN product would be interesting. I'm not sure how much name recognition the IP still has. Also I'm not sure what the relationship with WotC and Microsoft is at this point. They own a lot of IP's already, so I doubt they want to deal with rights they don't own.

I'm also not sure that Obsidian is really an isometric developer anymore. I think anything they do will be FPS or 3rd person. Unless it is a smaller team, aka Pentiment and Tyranny.

Why do you think they'd pass on a BG4?

Considering what a monster BG3 was, I don't think Obsidian is interested in such a massive game. It seems like they are sticking to mid-sized games to minimize risks. They want to be open for another 100 years, they said.  

[melkathi]

Is it too much to ask for them to do XCOM3 now that Firaxis is unlikely to do it...

 

Imagine an XCOM game where the plot isn't pants and you don't have to stop playing before the final mission so you don't have the terrible plot resolution.

^This.

And also, I can't imagine any studio--and especially a studio that is not a huge AAA studio--wanting to deal with the pressure of living up to BG3 budget and sales expectations.

Here's the latest D&D-based new game to be announced. The article also lists all the others that have thus far been announced:

Lies of P: Overture is out now. Shadowdropping became really popular of late.

Seems like there is one more trailer to this in different “era”

And looks like Waifu Souls has part II in development for 2026.

Speaking of which, Xenonauts 2 is super close to being done.

So, Lies of P: Overture is not on Game Pass, unlike the base game. That's not a big issue (for me, plenty of people seem to be disappointed online though - I kinda understand that, but since Lies of P became a surprise hit it is simple business sense to sell the DLC to everyone who wants to play) since the base game is well worth buying anyway, but somehow Microsoft can't into math:

I'm beginning to understand some of the bugs in Windows.

Stranger Than Heaven?

 

When a dev team releases more games than I can play. Seriously, I was starting to wrap my head around the new pirate game and suddenly this drops!

Interesting that there seems other stuff in the works apart from standard triple-A action adventure™ fare -- the direction to go to for decades, becuz: "If you press a button, something awesome has to happen!" A survival kind of thing set in The Realms? Sure, survival has been done to death... but in a way, the start of BG1 arguably was pretty close already, still making it kind of unique, at least upon first playing it. Think about it:

You're dropped into forests with no gear, money or hitpoints to brag in front of the girls about. Your foster father has just been killed.  There's wolves and bears able to one-shot you. True to the game's lore of iron and crisis, the joke of a weapon you hold in your hands can actually BREAK at ANY POINT. And you're on your own (that is, provided you gave that annoying lass the hard pass, as the game strongly encouraged you to do...)  


Will this signal the comeback of 1990s era D&D games? I mean you had Beat em Level Ups ! Horror Crawlers! And Command Faerun & Conquers!

Yes, that's an older trailer, just got rereleased since the game got a new name (Project Justice before).
