Video game developer Tim Cain just dropped some big news during his Fun Friday YouTube video. Cain has returned to XBox’s Obsidian Entertainment as a full-time employee. He first joined the company in 2011 but moved to working on a remote contract basis in 2020.
“I’m back at Obsidian. I’m their full-time employee and in person, so not remote. So, I’m not a contractor anymore,” Cain happily announced.
“So, this means that I’m not working in other places, although there’s at least one game that I worked on that I know is going to ship. So, I don’t know if it’ll be next year or the year after, but a game’s going to come out that’s not an Obsidian game. They’ll have my name in the credits because I did work for it. There are other games I worked on. I’m not sure they’re going to ship,” he clarified.
Cain goes on to explain a lot of games between 2020 and 2025 were started and never completed or canceled. Meaning his name may be on more non-Obsidian video games that he contracted for but he doesn’t know their status.
Cain was tight-lipped about possible upcoming Obsidian titles. “I also can’t talk about the project I’m working on at Obsidian just because, you know, that’s covered under NDA. Don’t bother guessing. You’re not going to guess right,” he teases.
Cain is probably best known for his work as a producer and programmer on the original “Fallout” game, returning as a designer on the follow-up. He co-directed “The Outer Worlds” and consulted on the second game.
We cannot wait to see what he does next.
