Fallout 5 rumor suggests game could launch earlier than everyone thinks Bethesda SoftworksWindows Central reporter Jez Corden claims that Microsoft intends to release a Fallout 5 game much faster than fans anticipated. In a 2022 interview with IGN, Bethesda Game Studios producer Todd Howard revealed that Elder Scrolls 6 was already in pre-production. Fallout 5 will serve as the team\u2019s next project after the Elder Scrolls adventure, Howard shared. FTC v. Microsoft case documents offered a bit more insight, thanks to a Microsoft chart that specifically noted the new Elder Scrolls isn\u2019t expected until 2026 or later. The fifth mainline Fallout entry may not see the light of day until even later as a result. Amazon\u2019s Fallout TV show has helped generate new interest in the post-nuclear RPG series, however. As such, it\u2019s claimed that Microsoft intends to release another Fallout game earlier than anticipated. The claim comes courtesy of comments from Windows Central\u2019s Jez Corden, who stated the following on episode 313 of the Xbox Two podcast: \u201cThey\u2019re currently formulating plans on how to get the next Fallout here for us sooner rather than later, which I know is vague as hell, but like, we constantly talk about, \u2018Will we even see Fallout this decade? No, we won\u2019t.\u2019 \u201cAnd the answer is, I think we will. I think we will see Fallout. It\u2019s a bit different here because they\u2019ve already got the engine, the Starfield engine; they just got to kind of make assets for it. I\u2019m suggesting someone else is going to build it. I think probably Obsidian. I just know that they know they can\u2019t let this take that long. That\u2019s the gist of the current plan. We\u2019re not going to have to wait that long for it.\u201d Corden\u2019s uncorroborated claims suggest something like Fallout 5 will launch before the decade is out\u2026 But the Fallout-related rumblings don\u2019t end there. Bethesda\u2019s Todd Howard appeared on the April 29 episode of the Kinda Funny Gamescast, where he hinted that two Fallout projects may be in the works. In speaking loosely about future plans, Howard teased, \u201cWe look at what we are doing with the [Fallout] franchise and then we say, \u2018Do we still feel good about \u2014 I can\u2019t reveal it now \u2014 but here is our runway for Fallout as a franchise.’\u201d He then spoke about the many Fallout projects, a couple of them seemingly unannounced, and how he wished the team\u2019s efforts could instantly bear fruit. \u201cWhen is Season 2 happening? What are we doing on mobile? What are we doing in [Fallout 76]? What are we doing with this thing? What are we doing with this other thing? And when are these landing? And again, if I could snap my fingers and have them all be out and ready, I would. But the main thing is how do we deliver these at a high-quality level. That is always most important.\u201d Howard\u2019s \u201cthis thing\u2026 and this other thing\u201d comment appears to vaguely hint at two unrevealed Fallout-branded projects of some kind. The property has dabbled in multiple mediums and genres in the past, so if this does constitute a tease, there\u2019s no guarantee fans should hold their breaths for Bethesda-style RPGs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
