As well as confirming that development on <em>The Elder Scrolls VI<\/em> is unaffected (somehow), they also confirmed that their recent raft of <em>Fallout<\/em> announcements is part of a bold new era for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, they confirmed that remakes for both <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/fallout-3-new-vegas-remakes-xbox-exclusive-fears\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas<\/em><\/a> are on the way, as well as <em>Fallout 5<\/em> being in pre-production and a franchise project now underway at Obsidian Entertainment. Dropping all of that information on players heads at once is pretty unprecedented, and it would be a fair assumption that owners Xbox forced their hand a little, but Bethesda claims this isn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Look, we read the internet too,&#8221; the studio supposedly told the YouTuber. &#8220;All of our fans and plenty of creators have been asking for us to lay out our road map for a long time. As bits of info or announcements come out individually, they get lost in the larger picture of all we&#8217;re doing as a studio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, we felt it was best to do it all at once and paint a clear picture for everyone. This is a shift in our approach to communication that Bethesda Game Studios has been contemplating for some time now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape mobile-optimized\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;Bethesda Entertainment&quot;\">\n<figure><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"vault boy fallout\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/vault_boy-1.avif?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture><figcaption style=\"display: none;\">vault boy fallout<\/figcaption><small class=\"body-img-caption\">Bethesda Entertainment<\/small><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As fans, all we can really do is hope that one of the new <em><strong>Fallout<\/strong><\/em> projects is in our hands before too long, as it really has been a very long time since a major game has come along in the series.
