Bethesda Game Studios has officially broken its silence on the future of the Fallout franchise, confirming that Fallout 5 is officially in pre-production. In a major pipeline update covered by GameSpot, GamesRadar, and Kotaku, the studio also announced that official remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are actively being developed.

Obsidian Reportedly Shifting Focus to a New Fallout Game Led by Josh Sawyer

A new Bloomberg report reveals the Fallout: New Vegas developer is shelving other projects to return to the iconic wasteland franchise.

For years, Fallout fans have dreamed of the day Obsidian Entertainment would return to the post-apocalyptic franchise they helped define with Fallout: New Vegas. According to a major new report, that dream may finally be transitioning into reality. Bloomberg reports that Obsidian is shifting its development strategy to focus on a brand-new Fallout game. This massive pivot means other highly anticipated projects at the studio are being sidelined to make way for the wasteland's return.

Is it possible we get a new Fallout game in 2025?

Let's be clear - it is highly unlikely that we will see a new mainline Fallout game in 2025. According to information from multiple sources, Bethesda stated that Fallout 5 will not be released until after The Elder Scrolls 6, which is still several years away, with some projections suggesting a release not before 2027 or even later. This timeline pushes Fallout 5 potentially into the 2030s. But what about New Vegas 2, some Fallout Remaster, or even a new mobile Fallout game? At least Bethesda has been actively updating Fallout 76, with new content planned for 2025 including the ability to play as a Ghoul. But let's dive in.
