The Fallout: New Vegas director would lead another Fallout project as long as he isn’t held back by any major constraints.
In the latest episode of his Q&A series on his YouTube channel, Josh Sawyer, the Fallout: New Vegas director, was asked how he would respond if he was asked by Microsoft to lead another Fallout project. In his response, he said that choosing to do any project has to do with what it is aiming to do, what are the boundaries that will need to be worked within, and what he would be allowed to do and not allowed to do.
According to Sawyer, with any IP, especially one he has worked with before, the question is about what he wants to do this time that he wasn’t able to do the last time. He said that if the constraints are just really constraining, it’s not very appealing to him because he wouldn’t want to work on something where the one area he wants to explore is not possible to explore.
Sawyer expressed his passion towards the Fallout IP, and he believes that there are still a ton of stories that can be told and questions that can be asked about society etc. He said that any IP is somewhat like this, where one may want to work on one thing or another. As such, he can’t know for sure if he’ll lead another Fallout title’s development without knowing what he is allowed to do and not allowed to do.
Previously, it was reported that, as per SteamDB, Fallout 4 had reached a 24-hour peak player count of 35,364 on Steam after a boost in interest coming from the release of the Fallout TV series. The game hadn’t achieved a player count this high since 2018, when it was offered for free for a weekend during the month of February.
