Fallout
After completing Starfield next year, Bethesda will fully turn to The Elder Scrolls 6 development. The latter is currently in the early stages of development, and now according to the company’s creative director Todd Howard in an interview with IGN, the next new game is “Fallout 5”.
“Yes, The Elder Scrolls 6 is already in early development, and after that we’re going to be moving to Fallout 5, so we’re going to be pretty full for quite some time,” Howard said. Projects that move forward from time to time, they also take time. I hope they come out as soon as possible, I really think so, Bethesda is working as hard as possible, but in the end we want them to be in the best shape for players. “
“Starry Sky” and “The Elder Scrolls 6” were originally announced at E3 in 2018. Based on Bethesda’s development speed in recent years, the latter is expected to be released around 2027. If Fallout 5 takes another five years, it might be a decade away from actually playing it. That is to say, by that time, the next-generation consoles of Microsoft and Sony should have already come out, right?
