Bethesda Montreal Devs Got Minimum Severance Notice the Day Xbox Revealed New Fallouts

On the same day Xbox announced a wave of major Fallout news, including Fallout 5 entering preproduction and remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, laid-off developers at Bethesda Montreal were allegedly informed they would receive the smallest severance package legally possible and lose their health insurance benefits immediately. According to the OneBGS union, the timing made an already painful situation significantly worse, with workers describing the back-to-back news as deeply demoralizing. The union has called the treatment of these employees "unconscionable" and says it has filed new legal action in response to the dismissals.

Xbox Clarifies Confusing Exclusives Strategy, Promises More Console-Only Titles

Xbox executives have made another attempt to explain the company's increasingly muddled approach to console exclusives, acknowledging that the current strategy is not exactly "obvious" to players. The platform holder confirmed that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will remain Xbox console exclusives, and teased a third unannounced exclusive title on the way. The clarification comes amid widespread confusion over why some first-party titles, like Halo, are heading to PlayStation 5 while others are staying locked to Xbox hardware.

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.
