Todd Howard from Bethesda states that Obsidian was the only studio considered for developing Fallout: New Vegas due to their previous work on Knights of the Old Republic 2, and hints at ongoing, unannounced Fallout projects.
Obsidian is focusing on developing its own IP and original projects like The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed, rather than pursuing a sequel to Fallout New Vegas, despite fan interest and the potential for a New Vegas 2 to serve as a sequel to one of its most beloved RPGs.
The Outer Worlds 2's faction storytelling is less nuanced and impactful than Fallout: New Vegas, focusing more on satire and cynicism about power and systems rather than deep engagement with faction ideologies or player influence, resulting in a game that emphasizes practical struggles over ideological depth.

Todd Howard clarifies that the Fallout TV show's depiction of the fall of Shady Sands does not conflict with the events of Fallout: New Vegas, assuring fans that the game's storyline remains part of the Fallout history. The show's portrayal of Shady Sands being nuked in 2277 is explained as occurring after the events of New Vegas, with Howard emphasizing the careful maintenance of consistency between the games and the TV series.

Chris Avellone, former chief creative officer of Obsidian Entertainment, revealed that the studio once pitched an Elder Scrolls spin-off game similar to Fallout: New Vegas. The idea was to provide more adventures in the Elder Scrolls setting during the gap between Bethesda releases. However, the proposal did not gain traction with Bethesda, possibly due to the mixed reception of Fallout: New Vegas. Fans are left wondering what could have been, as they eagerly await the release of The Elder Scrolls VI.
