...it's being made by Obsidian, the studio that almost 16 years ago brought us Fallout: New Vegas.
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that the new Fallout game is guaranteed to be good. But a lot of people put great store in Obsidian. New Vegas is widely considered to be the best Fallout game produced yet and the onus is going to be on the studio to deliver. They know this. I have faith in them.
And I say that as someone who has still not finished playing New Vegas. It's sort of become a curse in my life: I cannot continue that game without something happening to throw me so far off course that by the time I get back to it, I've forgotten where I was and how I got there. The last time I played it I had just come to New Vegas itself and was trying to find Mr. House. But that was two years ago. My main PC died on me and I need to get it fixed and when that happens I'll probably want to restart the game just to get the full experience.
Well, I should have plenty of time to do that. It's probably going to be at least three or four years before this new Fallout game is ready. And Lord only knows how long it will be before we get a proper Fallout 5. All I'm sure of is that by the time Fallout 6 comes, many if not most of the people reading these words will either be retired or dead (see my idea from a year ago about having a Fallout tontine with your friends!).
Anyhoo, the announcement about the new Fallout game comes hot on the heels of Microsoft letting go thousands of employees from its Xbox and gaming divisions. You can read about all of that over on Nerdist.com and their article about Obsidian going to work on Fallout whatever.
