When last we heard of Fallout 5, it was little more than a “one-pager” idea at Bethesda that may or may not come to fruition; however, studio director Todd Howard has now confirmed a new mainline entry in the beloved Fallout series is definitely happening, but won’t release until after The Elder Scrolls 6.
In conversation with IGN, Howard revealed The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in pre-production (confirming previous rumours around the project’s progress), before adding, “And, you know, we’re going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate’s pretty full going forward for a while. We have some other projects that we look at from time to time as well.”
In other words, with Bethesda’s next big title, sci-fi RPG Starfield, delayed until next year, and still no word on a potential release window for The Elder Scrolls 6 – despite the game having received its first official tease back in 2018 – it sounds like there’ll be an extremely long wait until Fallout 5 finally sees the light of day.
