Obsidian Entertainment to ply his trade on games including Guardians of Middle-earth, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Horizon Forbidden West, Fallout: New Vegas creative design lead John Gonzalez has returned.

Fallout: New Vegas lead writer John Gonzalez returns to developer Obsidian after 14 years, but he doesn't want you to get your hopes up – it isn't for a New Vegas sequel. It's simply "for exciting times!" he writes in the description of his LinkedIn experience. In parenthesis, he adds the unambiguous admission, "No, it's not FNV2."

John Gonzalez, lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas and Horizon: Zero Dawn, has announced his return to Obsidian Entertainment after 14 years elsewhere in the industry - but not, he suggests, to work on a Fallout: New Vegas 2.

Rumors of a "code-altering" update for Starfield recently surfaced, but Bethesda has not officially commented on or announced anything regarding this at the time of writing.

New Vegashas returned to the studio that made it. John Gonzalez announced he’s rejoined Obsidian Entertainment as creative director, just as the Xbox studio prepares for its biggest year yet with the launch of fantasy RPG Avowed and New Vegas spiritual spin-off The Outer Worlds 2.
