Bethesda Confirms Fallout 5, Elder Scrolls 6, Remasters, and Obsidian Collab
Bethesda Game Studios has dropped one of its biggest announcements in years, publishing a sweeping studio letter from executive producer Todd Howard that outlines the company's plans for the next several years. Fallout 5 is officially confirmed to be in pre-production, running alongside active development on The Elder Scrolls 6. In addition, remasters of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are now confirmed to be in development, and a brand-new Fallout project is in the works at sister studio Obsidian Entertainment, the developer behind the beloved New Vegas original. Howard stated that "the timing is right" for a collaboration with Obsidian, a partnership that fans have been requesting for over a decade. Fallout 76 is also getting a major expansion called Raven Rock, described as a prequel story to Fallout 3, expected to arrive next year. Bethesda also moved to reassure fans about The Elder Scrolls 6, saying the studio is "loving how it looks" and "playing it every day," and that development is "where we planned to be" despite the game having been announced eight years ago.
