Todd Howard, the creative mastermind at Bethesda, recently dropped a tantalizing hint: “even more” Fallout is on its way! While many fans are eagerly hoping for new game announcements, this news isn’t entirely unexpected, especially since Fallout 5 was confirmed to be in development years ago.
During a special Fallout Day broadcast, Howard acknowledged the overwhelming fan desire for more content. He reassured everyone, stating, “Just know, we are working on even more. We’re looking forward to the day when we can share that with everybody.” This statement fueled speculation about what grand plans Bethesda has in store.
Recent reports have suggested that Fallout 5 has officially received the “fully greenlit” stamp, building on its initial announcement in 2022. However, players shouldn’t hold their breath for a release anytime soon. Bethesda Game Studios’ immediate focus remains on The Elder Scrolls VI, with Fallout 5 slated to follow its highly anticipated launch.
For those looking for something sooner, Bethesda has exciting news: Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas are both receiving anniversary editions this year! Additionally, Fallout 76 fans can anticipate a new expansion this December and optimized versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. And for handheld enthusiasts, Fallout 4 is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2, also in 2026.
These announcements were just a taste of what was revealed during Fallout Day, offering plenty for fans to look forward to across various platforms.
Beyond the gaming world, the critically acclaimed Fallout TV series on Prime Video is also making a swift return with its second season this December, proving the franchise’s reach extends far beyond traditional gaming.
