Bethesda may be poised to surprise fans with a new installment in the Fallout franchise, as Todd Howard recently hinted at untitled projects associated with the series. While excitement builds around The Elder Scrolls 6, which has been in the spotlight since its announcement in 2018, Howard’s revelations suggest that Fallout remains an active focus for the company.
In an interview, Howard stated, “We are doing other things with Fallout that we haven’t announced,” indicating that while the majority of the internal team is dedicated to The Elder Scrolls 6, there is more to expect from the Fallout universe in the future. This statement has reignited hopes that Bethesda could release two significant titles in close succession.
The Fallout franchise has historically been one of Bethesda’s most enduring and engaging projects. While there have been concerns that fans might be waiting five to six years for a new installment following The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard’s comments provide a glimmer of optimism. “Fallout as a franchise is the one that we’re still doing the most work in above anything,” he remarked, emphasizing the ongoing commitment to the series despite the massive scope of The Elder Scrolls 6 development.
Additionally, Howard confirmed that Fallout 76 continues to receive updates and improvements, stating that they have maintained a dedicated team on the game. While Fallout 76 presented challenges in capturing the interest of fans, the popularity of earlier single-player titles suggests that Bethesda should consider fan favorites as they strategize future releases.
Speculation is also swirling around the potential for a remastered version of Fallout: New Vegas. With ongoing discussions within the community, it seems that a remaster would be a feasible way for Bethesda to keep fans engaged while they work on larger projects. Collaborating with Obsidian, the original creators of New Vegas, could allow for a fresh take on the classic title without straining resources.
As anticipation builds for both The Elder Scrolls 6 and potential new content from the Fallout franchise, fans can remain hopeful that Bethesda will deliver something special in the near future.
