The excitement for a new chapter in the cherished Fallout franchise has been intense among its followers, especially since the launch of Fallout 4 back in 2015. Even with the success of the Amazon series adaptation, progress on a new single-player game has been minimal. Nevertheless, recent updates indicate that the wasteland may soon experience a revival, although at a more gradual pace than fans would prefer.
Insider Jez Corden disclosed on the Xbox Two Podcast that ZeniMax, the parent entity of Bethesda, has formally given the go-ahead for Fallout 5. While this news is encouraging, those hoping for a swift launch may need to adjust their expectations. The key developers at Bethesda are presently focused on other significant projects, like the Starfield DLC and The Elder Scrolls VI. Consequently, the original Fallout 4 team may not participate, leading to speculation about a potential replacement studio within Bethesda taking over the project.
Fallout 5 Receives the Green Light – But It Becomes Complicated
The choice to advance with Fallout 5 has reportedly come at the expense of another initiative, internally referred to as “Project Blackbird,” an ambitious online RPG that has been scrapped due to internal reorganization. Bethesda appears to be opting for caution by investing in the well-established Fallout franchise rather than pursuing a risky new MMO endeavor.
Whispers indicate that several Fallout titles might be in the works. In addition to Fallout 5, there could be a Fallout 3 Remaster and possibly a third, undisclosed project. While specifics are still limited, the mere prospect of these developments has reignited hope within the fanbase.
Despite the enthusiasm, fans should exercise caution as this information relies on insider disclosures, and official confirmation from Bethesda is still pending. However, those who have yearned for a return to the wasteland can begin to prepare mentally for the chance to don their power armor yet again.
