Obsidian should make the next Fallout

We’re all buzzing about today’s big gaming news. Microsoft has bought Bethesda. And as part of that $7.5 billion purchase, the Xbox company now owns Bethesda Game Works and some of the biggest role-playing game franchises of all time: The Elder Scrolls and Fallout.

So now Microsoft owns an RPG powerhouse. Well, another one. In 2018, Microsoft started this game company-acquiring binge, and Obsidian was one of its first big gets. That’s a studio that has its own history with Fallout, and all things considered … well, maybe Obsidian is the one that should make the next entry in that postapocalyptic series.
