It’s all guesswork, I admit, but I really don’t think Fallout 5 is going to happen and if that means Bethesda working on more new IP instead I’d say that’s a good thing. In the meantime you’ve got Wasteland 3, which is very good, and Fallout 76, which isn’t – as well as The Outer World, which is also quite similar and by some of the original Fallout team. A Fallout 5 by Bethesda just doesn’t seem like it’s on the cards at the moment and I’d be less surprised if inXile brought Wasteland, the spiritual predecessor to Fallout, into 3D than Bethesda announced they’re working on Fallout 5.Īt the very least, it is going to be years and year until Fallout 5 happens. It’s worth remembering that unlike The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield, Bethesda did not invent Fallout, it was an Interplay game originally and most of the original staff are now at inXile and Obsidian – both of which Microsoft owns. Maybe Bethesda will decide it wants to make Fallout 5 at some point but unless the franchise is in real trouble I don’t think they will. If that’s successful it can be continued and whatever developer they use can take stewardship of the franchise. Now that they’re part of the Microsoft empire I think they’ll carry on with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 and that sometime in the next five years we’ll hear of another studio, probably one of the others that Microsoft owns, working on a new spin-off in the vein of New Vegas. Especially after the disaster of Fallout 76, it’s clear that Bethesda are in no hurry to return to the Fallout universe and my prediction is that they’re simply not going to.
