As most people know, Bethesda owns the Fallout intellectual property. Bought off of struggling Interplay for $5.75 million, everything from the radscorpions to Nuka Cola is owned by Bethesda. You would assume that any future Fallout game is going to have a Bethesda stamp on the box.
Interplay is legally able to make a Fallout MMO if they : a) started to work on it within 2 years of signed over the Fallout rights; b) were able to secure $30 million of funding, to do the job right; and c) finished the game before April, 2013.
Do you think you have what it takes to be a Technical Director? A current Interplay job ad is looking for one -- but you'll have a better chance of getting the job with "Familiarity with the Fallout® universe." With this job posting, the new hire, the clause in the contract and some hints dropped here and there in forums, it seems like it's 'game on' for a Fallout MMORPG.
