Xbox wants Fallout 5 to come sooner

As is known, at this moment Bethesda Busy with updates and promised additional content for the latest RPG, Starfield, as well as the development of The Elder Scrolls 6. According to the latest information, there is already a playable version of the next Elder Scrolls game, but even so we are many years away from its release. That means the next fallout, that is He falls 5, as it will probably be called, comes in the third generation and therefore may be released after 2030, if we take into account the length of modern development cycles.

As it turns out, this timeline is disappointing not only for Fallout fans, but also for Microsoft itself, which has owned Bethesda for several years. He revealed this information while speaking in a recent episode Xbox Two Podcast Popular reporter Jez Corden from Windows Central is responsible for countless leaks regarding Xbox plans.

More specifically, Gez emphasized that “the company is well aware” that there is currently a huge demand for Fallout content, as well as the great potential for success that a new chapter in the post-apocalyptic series holds. So Microsoft is ready to explore opportunities so that Fallout 5 can reach the market early and not have to wait these huge years.

Naturally, what everyone expects is that Bethesda Game Studios will license the IP again, as they did in 2010 with Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout New Vegas. Both companies are now owned by Microsoft, so it doesn't seem that far-fetched. Naturally, Bethesda did not seem particularly willing to give away the intellectual property, as Todd Howard has made clear in his statements in numerous interviews. So it remains to be seen whether the pressure from Microsoft will actually lead to changes, or whether the next Fallout will finally come after The Elder Scrolls 6, once again from Bethesda.

Obviously, the reason all eyes have been on the franchise lately is the Amazon TV series. The show performed well, receiving rave reviews and record-breaking ratings. Somehow, hundreds of thousands of players have been drawn back into Fallout games across all platforms as we reported.
