Bethesda is reportedly full-steam ahead on the Fallout franchise with multiple projects in the fan-favorite RPG series supposedly in development.
Appearing on the Friends Per Second podcast, VGC journalist Jordan Middler made the aforementioned claim, saying, "There are multiple Fallout projects in development." He then goes onto cheekily suggest that one of them is even "that one that I'm sure you're all wanting," teasing a possible remaster of Fallout 3 among the crop of upcoming projects.
Middler had little other concrete news about the exact nature of these upcoming Fallout projects, except that it's "not far enough along" that any of us will be playing one of these games in the immediate future, but even without that knowledge, it's hardly surprising news to hear. Fallout, and Bethesda's other major franchise Elder Scrolls, have long been the among the upper echelon of Xbox's portfolio, and were key factors in Microsoft's $7.5 billion purchase of Bethesda.
Rumors have swirled about a possible remaster of Fallout 3 for years, and seem to have picked up significantly after the shadow drop of Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered earlier this year. It also wouldn't be surprising if, among these upcoming titles, Bethesda decided to release some mobile games to the effect of another Fallout Shelter or The Elder Scrolls: Blades in the time between major releases, although that is just speculation.
Besides those potential projects, Bethesda has hardly been shy about acknowledging that a fifth mainline Fallout game is in the works, though it has shared that it isn't coming anytime soon. First, the studio has to finish up work on Elder Scrolls 6, which was first announced back in 2018 and is still in production with no release date on the immediate horizon.
Middler's podcast appearance and comments comes in the aftermath of a massive series of layoffs at Microsoft, targeting around 9,000 employees, a lot of them being developers at Xbox-owned studios. In the time since the news first broke, The Initiative has been closed, its game Perfect Dark has been cancelled, and other developers, like Turn 10, have suffered devastating cuts.
The way to survive in modern society is to be an ascetic. It is to retreat from society. There’s too much society everywhere you go…The only solution is turn it off.
