You’ve all probably heard the news that Microsoft acquired Bethesda recently. What’s interesting is that Microsoft also owns Obsidian now, which means Obsidian is now a sister company to Bethesda and can work on their IPs.

In other words, how good do you think are our chances of getting a New Vegas sequel? Since they’re currently working on Avowed, a game that takes place in their Pillars of Eternity universe, we probably won’t see anything like that until 2025 at the soonest.

I’m confident we’ll see more news on this by 2024 at the latest. It’s very ambitious and trying to compete with the Elder Scrolls series.

Another one you might want to keep your eye on is . The gist is that it’s being made by the guys who made the first two ES games: Arena and Daggerfall.

Given that Avowed is set in the same universe and world as Pillars of Eternity, no thanks. If it ends up being closer to the original Pillars, maybe. But given how they decided to shit over everything in 2 and caved to demands and changed some of what made the first game great I won't hold my breath for it.

are you fucking kidding me OP?

everything microsoft gets its mitts on in the gaming industry turns to complete shit. No franchise is left un-desecrated

did you hear Banjo-Kazooie 3 was coming out?

the fact is your point is somewhat valid--the game could come out, but that is like disney buying Star Wars. Better off left alone

Nostalgia sells. They’d be dumb not to eventually get to it. Maybe not in the next 5 years, but before 2030 for sure.

I don't disagree, but the model of "nostalgia sells" is super successful and super-kiked. Take something beloved and change it in everything "but name". It will sell, it will just be disappointing--most likely with inferior gameplay and laden with "market expanding" diversity. The whole base always gets alienated and a bunch of fag normies adopt the "hipness" of a great cult classic. It ends up just being a fashion with none of the original substance.

When I hear microsoft buys a game franchise I see it as dead and rotting in the ground.

but sure: they'll probably make a lot of money and we can hear everyone bitch about how shitty it is like everything else "promising"

(ps. fallout will need to make overt virtue signals to faggots for the '76 publicity--just you wait)
