Fallout: New Vegas was announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on April 20, 2009 at a press event in London. Very few details were given at the time and the game was not shown in any form. The target release date is 2010 and Bethesda has said that you can expect the "same type of game" as Fallout 3, though this is not a direct sequel. That means that New Vegas will indeed be a true role-playing game and not an action title like Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. It won't, however, continue any storylines from Fallout 3. In fact, Todd Howard, Design Director for Fallout 3, has told IGN that nothing in that game hints at anything in New Vegas.
Interestingly, after successfully reviving the franchise, Bethesda's internal studio led by Todd Howard will not be in charge of developing New Vegas. Those duties have been handed off to Obsidian, the studio that made Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and Neverwinter Nights 2 and is currently working on Alpha Protocol.
