FragHero has a source that seems to suggest Fallout: New Vegas 2 is coming from Obsidian.
More information.
Fallout: NV 2 - Rumour @fraghero
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
Sounds too good to be true 
I haven't even considered buying Fallout 4 since I read about the base building, crafting system and power armour in the first few minutes of the game. Obsidian would at least show the license a little bit more respect.

Woo, you didn't just make all this up to make me quit lurking and post more did you Silver? Way to drop a story-nuke there sir!
I loved New Vegas, so this is a most fascinating prospect indeed. Whilst I completely concur with Bjon045 above, if true, it'll be interesting to know Obsidian's exact involvement now that we ostensibly live in a post-Avellone/Fenstermaker era, both of whom were key components of NV's success. Perhaps they can be hired as free agents, who knows? Naturally, I'm very keen to hear some more.
Edit:
Ahh well, I got sucked in big time for that one. Guess I'll keep my guard up for future rumours! Back to existential Fallout nuclear void!

I'm confused. Does this mean an early release of fallout 5 ? Or is fallout NV not really fallout but some alternative game ?

I'd say there is 84% chance this isn't true.
Drithius is an inside source here, I'm sure of it.

It's more like a spinoff, Fallout New Vegas wasn't Fallout 4 even if it fallowed Fallout 3.
Saying that, I personally do not believe Obsidian is working on a Fallout game. Lots of people believed the teaser on Obsidian website two weeks ago was related to Fallout and that Project Louisiana was a Fallout game, but it's just POEII.

I still have to play Fallout 4 and Wasteland 2 through. All my gaming time goes to these games and then new ones arrive. Maybe I need to start concentrating only on handful of games. Fallouts, Wastelands and then maybe Witcher-series.
Based on the little bits of "evidence" that writer swept up off the floor, it could mean anything.
That's not to say I wouldn't lose my mind over a Fallout: New Vegas sequel...especially if it were done in a better engine.

I'm afraid. Obsidian isn't living their best days and I hated Fallout 4. I love Fallout New Vegas and I'm afraid as hell they actually try to make a sequel and screw it. Just let Fallout die in peace, please.
bethesda, greatly screwed Obsidian over, despite NV being a better game. There's also no way it would be on a different engine than what bethesda is using, since there wouldn't be any modding otherwise.

While I preferred Fallout 3 over NV in some ways (yeah, I said it ), I'd definitely be into another Obsidian Fallout. Why not? 2 different takes on the open-world Fallout world is not a bad thing...
Almost tempted to fire up New Vegas again soon anyway and see what I think of it now. I did play it on console back when and while it was overall good it felt smaller in scope and content than Fallout 3 at the time.

I can kinda get where you're coming from…though (please don't hate me)…I almost felt like F3 was arguably bigger/more wide open, but…also a little bit emptier, somehow? FNV felt way more substantial to me…more immersive, more atmospheric, and much better written.
Just more solid overall.I enjoyed Fallout 3 much more than FNV. Basically because of the lack of a cohesive story. To me, Obsidian does well with story and dialog and sucks everywhere else. Bethesda is strong on exploration and level design, but sucks at dialog and tying things together in general. Since I can roleplay without help, I prefer the Bethesda way of doing things. For those that need a story to be motivated to play their role, Obsidian wins.
Either way, I'd buy FNV2 in a split second. I thought the Fallout 4/Skyrim SE engine is fine for a spin-off game. I want to see a totally new engine for TES VI or Fallout 5 though. Obsidian could use the cash infusion from a Bethesda backed game. I'm sure Freakus made sure to get a better deal this time, if this isn't just a silly rumor….
Finally, I expect it's just a silly rumor or else Obsidian wouldn't be working on Pewee 2.
