Hold onto your PIP-Boys, game fans – original Fallout designer Tim Cain has teamed up with Fallout: New Vegas dev Obsidian, transforming into the Voltron of the Fallout brand to defend the galaxy from evil!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Rock Paper Shotgun’s<\/a> LinkedIn snoopers, Cain’s signed on as a senior programmer at the company, which is – as it happens – largely comprised of former Black Isle and Interplay employees like Feargus Urquhart, Chri Jones, and Chris Avellone.<\/p>\n

The whole Fallout gang is back together.<\/p>\n

Obsidian was most recently responsible for the critically-unacclaimed Dungeon Siege III, so here’s to Cain making up for that.<\/p>\n

The company is currently working on an adaptation of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series for PC and consoles, although back in June, Urquhart told GamesTM<\/a> that “we’re going round to publishers right now and we are pitching a new IP, which is getting pretty good reactions from people. We’re hoping to get working on that real soon.”<\/p>\n

By extraordinary coincidence, I’m sure, that’s apparently about the same time Cain left his previous employer.<\/p>\n
