Overview
- Bethesda disclosed Friday that Fallout 5 is in preproduction and that the studio is pursuing several concurrent Fallout projects rather than a single next mainline release.
- The company confirmed Obsidian Entertainment is working on a separate new Fallout game while Bethesda itself is developing Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3.
- Remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are officially in development and Fallout 76 will receive a major expansion called Raven Rock scheduled for 2027.
- Bethesda said The Elder Scrolls VI remains its primary development focus with the majority of the team assigned to it, and both ES6 and Fallout 5 will use the shared Creation Engine 3 technology.
- The update pairs game plans with cross‑media efforts—Fallout TV Season 3 is in production, an unscripted Fallout Shelter project is in development with Amazon and Kilter Films, and a 30th‑anniversary live event is planned for Washington, D.C., in 2027—while many release dates, team sizes and timelines remain unspecified after recent Xbox workforce cuts.
