Fallout Creator Rejoins Obsidian: "Don't bother guessing, you're not going to guess right."

"He left the company in 2020 but did keep working with them on a contract basis, co-directing The Outer Worlds. He also acted as a consultant for that game's sequel, The Outer Worlds 2. Tim Cain made the announcement that he's returning to Obsidian as a full-time employee on his own Youtube channel, saying: "I'm back at Obsidian. I'm there as a full-time employee and in-person, so not remote, and I'm not a contractor anymore.""

"This means that I'm not working at other places, although there's at least one game that I worked on [elsewhere] that I know is going to ship. So, what's he working on? Unsurprisingly, he cannot say. "I can't talk about the project that I'm working on at Obsidian, just because that's covered by NDA," he stated. He also advises that you don't try to figure outwhat he's working on: "Don't bother guessing, you're not going to guess right.""

Tim Cain rejoined Obsidian Entertainment as a full-time, in-person employee. Cain originally joined Obsidian in 2011 as a programmer and worked on South Park and Pillars of Eternity. He left Obsidian in 2020 but continued collaborating as a contractor, co-directing The Outer Worlds and consulting on The Outer Worlds 2. Cain confirmed his full-time return but said the current project is covered by an NDA and cannot be disclosed, advising against guessing. Possible projects include a new Fallout entry, The Outer Worlds 3, Avowed 2, or a new IP. Obsidian recently released Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, and Grounded 2 in Early Access.
