Obsidian, the developer behind the much loved Fallout: New Vegas, has teased its latest project on Twitter. Similarly, the studio's official website boasts the same image, which comes with the quote, "I used to dream that when my god came back, he would forgive us. That's the trouble with dreams. Sooner or later, we all have to wake up." Neither the artwork nor the writing scream Fallout, but that hasn't stopped some fans from going nuts about a potential post-apocalyptic title.
There was talk of a project named Fallout: New Orleans in August last year. Bethesda, the company that holds the rights to the Fallout franchise, wouldn't comment on the rumour, and Obsidian itself has since made it seem like such a thing isn't happening. What's more, the trademark that originally started the rumour apparently no longer exists. Nothing definitive, then, but a new Fallout title from Obsidian has been looking unlikely for a while.
Of course, this fresh teaser could be anything. The developer is referring to it as "Project Louisiana", which perhaps hints at something to do with Fallout, given its post-apocalyptic America setting, but again, it's impossible to say at this point. Obsidian is also heavily rumoured to be on the brink of officially revealing Pillars of Eternity 2 - a sequel to its acclaimed PC role-playing game. At this juncture, that seems like a more logical guess.
Still, would you take another Fallout title from Obsidian? Don't let the hype take control in the comments section below.

I've been holding off on Fallout 4 in the hope that there would be an "ultimate" version, there was for 3 and NV. So this had me worried for a moment! Still hope for F4 with all DLC in some kind of bundle!
@lankysi I'm sure that will happen soon.
@get2sammyb Been over a year (Nov '15) since Fallout 4 was released and there's been no mention of an ultimate edition. I'm sure you're right, as I said, they've done them before, but strange there's been nothing about it!
Ooh, Pillars of Eternity 2, now that's worth shouting about!
Half life 3 confirmed
how can anyone see this and link it to a Fallout game? more LOTR to my eyes
@lankysi If I remember right, Bethesda do tend to take a bit longer than other publishers to release "ultimate" editions. I suspect we will eventually see one, though.
I enjoyed Fallout 4 but all I want now is a new Elder Scrolls. An online game doesn't count...
Wait New Orleans is in Louisiana, and the quote in the picture invokes judgement day AKA the apocalypse. Is it just me jumping to conclusions or is this blatantly Fallout? If it's not then they're purposely throwing us off, as it's not exactly far away from it.
This is definitely a reference to Pillars of Eternity. The god it's referring to is Eothas. The line is like something the character Eder would say. If you've played the game, it's clear. It's the equivalent of a Final Fantasy VII remake teaser saying "I'm a mercenary and I just got a job from some guy with a gun on his arm to blow up a reactor".
@lankysi They're taking their time, but it will definitely happen.
I just want some DLC for Tyranny or expansions or sequels or something. Please Obsidian. Alpha Protocol sequel. More new IPs. Not putting my hopes up for another proper Fallout.
