Calling Fallout: New Vegas a fan-favourite would be something of an understatement. The FPS action RPG is considered one of the better Fallout games and one of developer Obsidian Entertainment’s best-ever outings. Now, one of the acclaimed title’s creative leads has returned to the studio to work on something new.

John Gonzalez, who served as the lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas, has returned to Obsidian Entertainment. He announced the same on LinkedIn, confirming that he is returning as a Creative Director. It’s unknown what project he’s working on, but elsewhere on his profile, he says it isn’t a sequel to Fallout: New Vegas.

Gonzalez departed from Obsidian Entertainment in 2011. Since then, he has worked as lead narrative designer on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and narrative director on Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

Obsidian Entertainment has two major titles due out this year in the form of Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2.
