NO NEW FALLOUT GAME GAME DIRECTOR SPEAKS OUT

Apr 30, 2024 3:02 PM

The recent success of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime Video has had a considerable impact on the games, says Todd Howard from Bethesda. Fans wondered if the release of a new Fallout game should have coincided with the series premiere to capitalize on the buzz. Howard disagrees, noting Fallout 76 is enjoying renewed interest, which he finds gratifying, saying more people are playing now than ever before.

Howard has revealed that Bethesda is focused on maintaining the series' relevance and popularity, which is currently being reflected with the heightened visibility of Fallout 76. There's no new game release tied to the series' launch, but an expansion and other content are planned for Fallout 76. The company is leveraging the show's success to enhance the game and maintain a high level of quality for their content roadmap. Fallout London, a significant mod, was also expected to launch but has been delayed.

Could there be a Fallout 5 release date announced soon?

Given Todd Howard's emphasis on quality and the current success of Fallout 76, it does not appear that a Fallout 5 release is imminent. Fans may have to wait a bit longer as Bethesda focuses on updates and expansions for existing titles.

Fallout is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game series originally created by Interplay Entertainment and later developed by Bethesda Softworks. Since the release of the original Fallout in 1997, the franchise has grown into a series with several main entries and spin-off games. It is renowned for its open-world exploration, branching narratives, and choices that have significant consequences on the game world. Fallout's setting in a post-nuclear war-torn world blends 1950s Americana with futuristic technology, creating a rich and unique universe for players to explore.
