At this point there isn’t much to go on. Only a lonely image and a quote (shown below). Needless to say, that hasn’t stopped the Internet coming up with some theories as to what Obsidian could be teasing.First up, the possibility of Fallout 4: New Orleans. In July of 2014, Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer talked about how he’d love to revisit the Fallout series , and some of the places he’d like to visit. Here’s an excerpt:"I like doing stuff on the West coast because we’re close by, and that’s kind of been a tradition for the West coast developers of that stuff,” said Sawyer. “I think going back to the Boneyard, LA, would be pretty cool but another area that I think Nathanial Chapman who used to work at Obsidian, he thought New Orleans would be a really cool setting for a Fallout game and I think that’d be really cool as well.”Theory two is that the quote is referencing Edér and Eothas from Pillars of Eternity, perhaps signaling a Pillars of Eternity 2 ? After all, the second game has been confirmed as currently in development There’s also the possibility the smoking pipe and wheat are actually Veilian glyphs, and in the coming days more images will be revealed and translated to give yet another clue.If you’ve got a bucket of salt handy, feel free to use a few pinches while remembering EA announced a load of Star Wars games at last year’s E3 presentation . Obsidian made Knights of the Old Republic II. Dare to dream?Or maybe, and this is a longshot, Project Louisiana is a new Alpha Protocol? As they say, only time will tell.In the meantime, now’s probably a good time to dust off the old Fallout New Vegas review , where we said “the fun Fallout 3 formula is intact, with more polished combat, high-quality side missions, and the exciting setting of the Vegas strip.”
