I feel like if Jason Schreier is breaking the news, it’s solid reporting.

Just a few hours ago I've read someone claimed "Avowed 2 is too far ahead to be canceled" and now there's news that it is canceled. lol.

Also, they are probably trying to pacify the people with claiming a new Fallout game by Obsidian has been green-lit. At this point, who knows what's true.

Obsidian doing Fallout was always a likely outcome.

Not only because they want to work on that themselves (they even pitched TES spinoffs to Bethesda way back, so who knows...)

But because it's just a BIG NAME. One of those that hasn't been "served" by a main line game in well over a decade too now. And it's obvious that Bethesda can't handle it all themselves at these crazy dev cycles (7 years plus for Starfield). Franchises such as Call Of Duty still release regularly because it's studios taking turns. Else, not a chance.

Question is, what is going to happen with inXile after Clockwork Revolution.

Releasing a new Fallout every 2 years would be terrible too, though.

Ya, to be honest, I'm not even that hyped about Fallout anymore.
At least Obsidian's take may be spicy again, rather than another postapoc Bethesda theme park. There's certainly still themes and conflicts to explore in this world.

Hoping for another more adventurous smaller project too (see Pentiment et all).

It’s been a while. Haven’t really been into Obsidian games since Deadfire and Pentiment. Saw the news on layoffs and Fallout, so figured I’ll check back on the old stomping grounds.
