What Todd Howard said

  • Howard confirmed that “we have hundreds of people on Fallout right now — with 76 and some other things we’re doing”.
  • At the same time, he emphasised that The Elder Scrolls VI is the studio’s core everyday focus.
  • On “2025 Fallout Day”, Howard again reassured fans: “We are working on even more … we’re looking forward to the day we can share that with everybody.”
  • He also noted that while many are working on the Fallout franchise, major new Fallout titles (e.g., a hypothetical Fallout 5) will come after The Elder Scrolls VI.

🔍 What does that imply

  • The “hundreds” of developers working on Fallout suggest multiple projects under that umbrella. These likely include support and expansions for Fallout 76, perhaps a remaster of Fallout 3, or new, smaller-scale Fallout titles or spin-offs. For instance, rumours point to a Fallout 3 Remaster.
  • Meanwhile, The Elder Scrolls VI remains the priority, which means it likely receives the lion’s share of resources and attention. Howard calling it his “everyday” thing signals that the mainline fantasy RPG is the flagship under development at Bethesda.
  • For Fallout fans, the message is: yes, your series is alive and receiving significant investment, but the next major Fallout release might still be years away—especially as it plays second fiddle to TES6’s development timeline.
  • The lack of detailed announcements or concrete release windows implies a strategic vagueness: Bethesda wants to hint at progress and build interest without committing to release dates too early (a known practice of the studio).

📌 Key takeaways

  • Don’t expect Fallout 5 or a full new Fallout mainline game very soon—TES6 comes first.
  • Several Fallout-related projects are in motion: expansions, remasters, perhaps smaller titles, but the big reveal is likely still pending.
  • This aligns with Bethesda’s broader strategy of increasing output (they’ve spoken about improving development cadence) while still being cautious about over-promising.
