Obsidian Cancels Avowed Sequel To Focus On New Fallout Game

Obsidian Entertainment are working on a new Fallout game. I also discuss the release date of Mortal Shell 2, and Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is shutting down.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis Shutdown Date

Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis reaches its end of service on October 6, 2026. Square Enix has officially announced that the mobile RPG spinoff will be closing its servers permanently. Fans who remember the initial excitement surrounding the FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS Official Reveal Trailer will be disappointed by this sudden halt to the game’s ongoing narrative updates.

Players can read the full end of service notice directly from the official FFVII_EC_EN X account. This shutdown reflects the harsh reality of the highly competitive live-service mobile market, ending another ambitious chapter in the expansive Final Fantasy universe.

Mortal Shell 2 Released Date Announced

Mortal Shell 2 officially launches on August 20, 2026 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The highly anticipated sequel brings players back into its punishing Soulslike mechanics, as showcased in the brutally atmospheric Mortal Shell 2 — Official Release Date Trailer. Having played challenging action-RPGs extensively over my 30 years of gaming experience, the fluid combat improvements shown so far look incredibly promising for fans of the genre.

Dedicated players can secure 72-hour early access by placing a pre-order for the game. This exclusive bonus allows hardcore fans to master the new shell mechanics, dodge timings, and parry systems days before the general player base gets to download the release.

Obsidian Cancels Avowed Sequel To Focus On New Fallout Game

Obsidian Entertainment is pivoting to develop a new Fallout game instead of continuing the Avowed franchise. Driven by broader Xbox restructuring efforts, the studio has been officially directed to abandon the Avowed sequel, according to a detailed IGN report regarding the cancellation. While the rich fantasy RPG journey highlighted in the [suspicious link removed] was well-received, Microsoft’s overarching strategy is clearly shifting toward maximizing the output of its post-apocalyptic juggernaut.

The next massive project from Obsidian is highly likely to be a highly requested sequel to Fallout: New Vegas to synergize closely with upcoming media adaptations. With Fallout season 3 filming already underway, a brand new video game release would perfectly align with the television show’s massive momentum, reviving the beloved radioactive wasteland atmosphere originally seen in the classic Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition Trailer.
