At Fallout Day 2025, Bethesda did not release any new Fallout titles, disappointing fans hoping for remasters or announcements related to Fallout 5. Instead, Todd Howard, Bethesda's design chief, promised that the team is actively working on more Fallout content. Although fans were expecting news after the surge in interest sparked by the Fallout TV show, which will feature New Vegas in its second season, no specific game releases were confirmed. Fans are particularly vocal about a potential remaster of Fallout: New Vegas, a wish echoed by actor Danny Trejo. Howard emphasized the importance of quality over speed in game development and reassured fans that major franchise titles are coming when they are ready.

Will there be a Fallout 5 soon?

Bethesda has indicated they are not rushing towards Fallout 5 and want to ensure quality, with Todd Howard stating such a game is still in the works, but not on a specified timeline.

The Fallout franchise began with the original game released in 1997, gaining massive popularity with each subsequent installment. Fallout 3, released in 2008, marked the series' shift to a 3D open-world format and was critically acclaimed. Fallout 4 followed in 2015, continuing the legacy of exploration and RPG elements amidst a post-apocalyptic backdrop. The multiplayer-focused Fallout 76, released in 2018, received mixed reviews but has seen a resurgence of interest due to ongoing updates and the recent Prime Video adaptation, bringing the franchise back into the spotlight.
