Things have been rough over at Xbox lately with mass layoffs spanning some of its biggest studios, id Software, Bethesda, and Obsidian included. But it’s not all doom and gloom as Bethesda has just confirmed a number of new projects in the works, including an all-new Fallout game from Obsidian, as well as remasters for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
In a recently issued open-letter of sorts, Bethesda says it is “investing more deeply in the worlds players love, giving creators a bigger role in shaping their experiences, and bringing our teams closer together so we can get our games into your hands sooner, support them longer, and continue building them alongside you for decades to come.”
More specifically, it says it will continue expanding the “Settled Systems with new stories, targeted gameplay improvements, and additional updates” in Starfield while prepping “for the launch of new Starborn content next year,” and detailing the future of the Fallout series.
More Fallout inbound
We already knew Fallout 5 was coming at some point, but as of right now it remains the company’s “long-range destination,” as it has now officially revealed that it is actively working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
From there, Bethesda has also announced that it is once again teaming up with its “longtime friends at Obsidian Entertainment” for work on a “new Fallout project. We’ll have more to share in the future.”
Bethesda has not given any launch windows or release date information at this time.
More details and the complete “Note from Bethesda” can be found on the official site.
Our teams are now developing The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform we’ve been building since Starfield’s launch. It allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.
Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.
