Tim Cain, the lead on the original Fallout video game, in a new video announced he has rejoined the Xbox first-party studio Obsidian Entertainment "as a full-time employee and in-person."
He joined Obsidian in 2011 as a programmer and was a co-director on The Outer Worlds and consulted on the recently released sequel. He left his position in 2020 and worked remotely on a contract basis.
"I'm back at Obsidian," said Cain. "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 that I know is going to ship."
He added, "I can't talk about the project that I'm working on at Obsidian, just because that's covered by NDA. Don't bother guessing, you're not going to guess right. I would probably say that I'm a lot less retired now."
