Microsoft’s Xbox reset is pivoting Obsidian to make Fallout instead of Avowed

Microsoft's Xbox reset has led to Obsidian Entertainment changing its plans, shifting focus from Avowed to a new Fallout game. This matters as it's the first new Fallout game in 4 years, following the success of the Fallout TV show. Obsidian canceled multiple projects, including Avowed's sequel. Engineers should be aware of this shift in priorities and potential changes in the gaming industry. The Fallout game is being led by Obsidian's studio design director, Josh Sawyer.
