Bethesda Softworks announced that Obsidian Entertainment is developing a brand-new Fallout game titled Fallout: New Vegas, to release next year on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Gamasutra was at Bethesda's event in London to hear the game announced by marketing and PR VP Pete Hines, who provided few specifics on the game's engine, gameplay or perspective -- but did note the game's neither a Fallout sequel nor a spin-off.

"It's not Fallout Tactics -- it's not Brotherhood Of Steel," said Hines. "It has no impact on what [Fallout EP] Todd Howard and his guys are planning."

A number of Obsidian staff are veterans of Black Isle's original Fallout games. "We've really been enjoying working with [Obsidian] on it," Hines said.

"That is all we're going to say about it right now," he added.

Cool! I love the Fallout series regardless of the crappy PS3 support Bethesda gives.

Not sure about the acquired MMO rights. However, it'd make complete sense to attach Obsidian who've the credentials for the genre if that was the case. It'll be interesting to see how this develops.

I enjoyed Fallout 3 but i would rather see another Elder Scrolls from Bethesda

If it's not a sequel or spinoff, what exactly is the point?

Are they just cashing in on the name?

Haha yeah that was exactly what I was thinking.

MMO makes the most sense given that wording, but who knows.

I'll be more excited about the news when we get concrete details about the game. Is it first-person, or third-person like the previous games from these creators? Single-player or MMO? Something completely different?

I want Elder Scrolls V too. Sooner rather than later.
