Though Fallout 3 was crafted internally at Bethesda, the team at Obsidian Entertainment is quite familiar with the franchise, as the independent developer was founded by veterans of now-defunct Fallout series creator Black Isle Studios.

Also revealed was a brief synopsis of the game, and the debut teaser trailer:

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3- the 2008 Game of the Year - brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor, and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.
