Videogaming247.com passed the word that Bethesda announced the new title in the Fallout series in London:
<blockquote>We’re just heard that Bethesda’s announced a new Fallout game - titled Fallout: New Vegas - at its London showcase.

Apparently it’s the same style of title as Fallout 3.

We’re waiting on more detail.

Update: It’s releasing in 2010. Obsidian’s developing.</blockquote>
Which brings two interesting items:
1) A new game to buy instead of new DLC to buy? And we'll probably notice the difference, since...
2) Subcontracted Obsidian Entertainment - company responsible for such titles as Knights of the Old Republic 2, Neverwinter Nights 2 addons Storm of Zehir and Mask of the Betrayer and the upcoming Alpha Protocol - is going to develop it? Does that mean we're not getting what Bethsoft does best any more? ;)

We'll be sticking our ears out to confirm this...

Thanks Ausir!

Kotaku has this one too, with a bit more info:<blockquote>Fallout New Vegas was announced moments ago during a Bethesda press conference in London.

The new game was revealed by Bethesda's Pete Hines who said that the publisher is working with Obsidian Entertainment on the title.

It will be coming out next year for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

"It is not a sequel to Fallout 3," Hines said. "It's simply another Fallout game in that universe."

It will be the same sort of role-playing game experience seen in Fallot 3, he said. The game's official reveal, with more details and a look at the game down the line.

Hines added that this title will have no impact on what Todd Howard and his team are working on.</blockquote>So, who's spin-off now, eh? Whatever.

Thanks Forhekset!

And Destructoid:<blockquote>If the Twitterverse is to be believed, Obsidian -- currently working on Sega's Alpha Protocol -- is currently developing a new, "non-sequel" to Fallout 3 title for Bethesda Softworks.</blockquote>

NO MCA for you guys probably Josh Sawyer is the lead though ;) Remember that MCA has ALpha Protocol
 
Slightly optimistic about this, then again it's just the BIS fanboy in me speaking. I wonder if the Bethesda fans will bemoan this as ruining the series...probably not, actually.
 
I like Obsidian, and frankly Vegas is a good setting. I look forward to this, and if it has assets I can use in Fallout 3 (like Bethesda expansions) that will mean more cool stuff to build with.

With a bit of luck, that's another of Hines' untruths, and there's a chance of a decent game set in the Fallout universe being made.
 
By the way, this is the "Fallout 3 should be made by the makers of Fallout 1 and 2" people's dream.

Obsidian = Black Isle. Some went and formed Troika, but Urquhart, Avellone, etc. those were all the dudes working on Fallout 1 and 2, and they were the _main_ dudes.

This was a very cool move of Bethesda, to shop it back to its rightful owners.

Actually, mostly FO2 only. MCA didn't work on FO1.
 
Great news indeed.

From what i can understand from the post, they're going to use Gamebryo again?

Fallout 2 and Fallout 1 teams are different.
And even now, Obsidian doesn't have Tim Cain, Boyarsky and Chris Taylor.
Also, if they wanted to "shop" anything back, they'd give the license.

gameplay style.

But Obsidian doesn't have any experience in making shooters.
Well, neither has bethesda.
