John Gonzalez, recognized as the lead writer for Fallout: New Vegas, has made his way back to Obsidian Entertainment. Gonzalez shared this update via a LinkedIn post, although he clarified that he’s not involved in creating Fallout: New Vegas 2. His initial stint at Obsidian stretched from 2008 to 2011, following a two-year tenure at Ubisoft in Shanghai.
After his initial journey with Obsidian, Gonzalez moved to Warner Bros’ Monolith Productions. There, he spent two and a half years working as the lead narrative designer on the acclaimed game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. His career then took him to the Netherlands, where he joined Guerrilla Games as the narrative director for Horizon: Zero Dawn. Nearly three years later, he found himself at Smilegate’s Barcelona studio.
Beyond his impressive contributions to game development, Gonzalez is also stepping into the literary world with his novel, “God Mode: Single Player,” which is set to release in 2025.
