On April 20, 2009, Bethesda Softworks [http://kotaku.com/5219584/new-fallout-announced announced] ''Fallout: New Vegas'', with Obsidian Entertainment as the developers. The game came out on October 19, 2010 in North America and October 22 in Europe (the days the bombs fell) on the PC, [[Xbox 360]] and PS3. Somewhat ironically, Obsidian is run by Black Isle refugees, the developers of the first two ''Fallout'' titles, and several Obsidian employees worked on Black Isle's original Van Buren project. Fan reaction is perhaps best described as "a tiny spark of hope shining through lots and lots of cynicism."
 
On May 30, 2018, Bethesda announced ''Fallout 76'', to be released in November 2018. Among other features, ''76'' appears to be the long-awaited multiplayer version of the game.
 
List of Fallout titles:
Line 35 ⟶ 37:
* '''''[[Fallout Brotherhood of Steel]]''''': Another linear spinoff, this one developed for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Xbox]]. Received mixed to terrible reviews and sold poorly. One of the last games produced by Interplay before they went bankrupt. [[Canon Discontinuity|Acknowledged as non-canon]].
* '''''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''''': An RPG by Obsidian very much in the same vein as ''Fallout 3'', released in October 2010.
* '''''[[Fallout 4]]''''': Another RPG in the vein of ''Fallout 3'' by Bethesda , released in November 2015. The game is mainly set 10 years after ''Fallout 3'' in the region around Boston known as the Commonwealth.
* '''''[[Fallout Shelter]]''''': A simulation game where you can manage your own vault.
* '''''Fallout Extreme''''': Working title for a canceled project briefly developed by 14 Degrees East which would have been a sequel to ''Fallout Tactics'' released on the Xbox. It would have apparently been a first-person/third-person squad-based tactics game with strategic overworld management similar to Jagged Alliance, but never got past the concept stage.
* ''[[Fallout 76]]'', announced in May 2018 for a November 2018 release.
 
Interplay, during its financial difficulties, proposed an MMO based on the Fallout franchise. [http://www.interplay.com/about/article.php?id=40 They had been going forward with it,] but then as of January 9, 2012, [http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/bethesda-settles-all-fallout-ip-related-lawsuits gave up the rights to carry on] after a settlement with Bethesda.
