Fallout 5 has reportedly been officially greenlit and development is moving forward, though who, exactly, is leading development on the new installment in the series is currently unknown.

The report comes from the latest episode of the Xbox Two Podcast, where Windows Central executive editor Jez Corden discussed how Xbox is handling Fallout as a franchise moving forward. However, he didn't know what studio would be developing Fallout 5, as he believes Bethesda Game Studios' core teams are currently busy working on additional Starfield DLC and The Elder Scrolls VI.

[Hawk The Slayer]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for it! The best game of all times and existence even better than Elder Scrolls VI.

Fallout 5 > Elder Scrolls VI > GTA VI > Witcher 4/RE9 > every other game in existence.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Incredible franchise of course it will be game pass day 1

 

[Xbox 360 slim]

Same guy who said the future of Xbox has never looked brighter?

 

[Punished Miku]

Obsidian probably. Todd Howard executive producer, creative lead, story, like on Indiana Jones.

But nah, I dont believe Jez on this at all. But, if MS did do this it would be a smart call though. Obsidian is just about ready for more projects other than whatever Sawyer decides to do.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I got it wrong, I thought he would have said something like this at least a couple of days earlier given the last week or so of news.

I would love to know who he supposedly talks to and who at Microsoft chose the likes of him to help carry the narratives all this time.

Predictable time and again (except the timing ha!)

A possible Gamescom game announcement is his next move probably, by Friday I guess.

 

[Draugoth]

Same guy who said the future of Xbox has never looked brighter?

His sources at MS are nearly 99.9% accurate, but he's still a big shill

 

[JayK47]

So, 5 to 10 more years until release.

 

[Det]

Here we have the perfect example of the liar's rhetoric...

First, he alleviates a problem by saying "cancelling Blackberry is good, freeing up resources to make Fallout."

Then, "MS gave the green light to Fallout 5."

==================================

 

[Danny22]

Excited to play this in 2040

 

[VanCityGamer]

Pathetic it took this long. MS has fucked up their handling of the Fallout IP.

 

[rm082e]

So it will be out in 2030 with the PS6 as the lead platform?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Damage Control from Jizz..
GP price increase must be within the next 2 weeks

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Same guy who said the future of Xbox has never looked brighter?

this is the counter meme of xbox is dead

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

So it will be out in 2030 with the PS6 as the lead platform?

2030 will be the title screen reveal. Full game won't launch til 2038 at the earliest.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Back to lies for damage control

Its a desperate attempt by Jez to spin something positive out of these layoffs. A new Fallout game is inevitable.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

lol, yeah this won't see the light this side of 2030. And ain't no way I'll have any expectations towards this until I see how they fare with ESVI. But after Starfield I'm not hopeful.

 

[Xbox 360 slim]

Launching day one on Xbox PC 360

 

[Det]

Its a desperate attempt by Jez to spin something positive out of these layoffs. A new Fallout game is inevitable.

Well, first, there might not be enough people to make a new Fallout.

Then there might be enough people to make a new Fallout, but they're incompetent.

The Bethesda team responded on Steam saying that those who had negative reviews about Starfield "didn't understand the game" is a good sign, BEFORE the layoffs...

 

[rm082e]

2030 will be the title screen reveal. Full game won't launch til 2038 at the earliest.

Honestly: Do you think TES6 is released before the 10th anniversary of its announcement? (2028)

 

[bitbydeath]

Same guy who said the future of Xbox has never looked brighter?

Turns out that was an incoming train.

 

[Rush2112]

That fat fuck

 

[semiconscious]

So, 5 to 10 more years until release.

yep. right around the same time that game pass goes to 39.95 a month on the xbox supremo...

 

[Jormatar]

For now.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Starfield shouldn't exist. Fallout 5 should have released followed by that TV show. Would have drew a lot of sales and attention to the IP.

 

[HJuggernaut]

Honestly I would love Fallout 0, it takes place on the west coast and takes place before the events of Fallout 1. The game stays true to the lore and vibe of Fallout 1 and 2.

 

[adamsapple]

Obsidian probably. Todd Howard executive producer, creative lead, story, like on Indiana Jones.

But nah, I dont believe Jez on this at all. But, if MS did do this it would be a smart call though. Obsidian is just about ready for more projects other than whatever Sawyer decides to do.

No way in hell Todd lets another studio do a new numbered entry.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

By the time it comes out, the Xbox brand might only be selling controllers.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I hope they do a fallout that takes place in a bleak nuclear winter. with snowbeasts and shit. Also i think they should do an archers guild in elder scrolls and have a bad ass story and inventive to use a bow

 

[Sooner]

6 more years and 4 showcase appearances until its cancelation and half the staff is laid off. Enjoy it while you can.

 

[Kumomeme]

how long before they cancel the development and sack the stuff?

 

[KungFucius]

[shocked in Spanish]

I am shocked by this blatantly obvious bullshit. I was greenlit like 20 fucking years ago and obviously accelerated when Starfield failed and the Fallout show led to a spike in people playing Fallout. To act like this is some kind of revelation is fucking asinine.

 

[balls of snow]

See you in 8 years.

 

[SolarFry]

No shit.

Hey guys, MY sources tell me 2k/Rockstar have greenlit GTA7, they'll start working on it some time after they finish 6.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Starfield shouldn't exist. Fallout 5 should have released followed by that TV show. Would have drew a lot of sales and attention to the IP.

Bethesda did what Activision/COD tried..... cover all bases and settings.

And similarly, both their futuristic games flopped (Starfield and Infinite Warfare). Most of the time, ultra sci-fi stuff arent big sellers when it comes to shooters or RPGs. Especially not anymore. People like retro settings like WWII/medieval, or settings that are modern-ish (or close +/- a bit, but not crazy spaceship and laser sword kinds of stuff).

Not sure why. But that's how it is. I'm in the same boat.

 

[StereoVsn]

See you in 2032 at best, lol. And frankly considering Bethesda's output (or Obsidian's) lately, I have 0 expectations.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Honestly: Do you think TES6 is released before the 10th anniversary of its announcement? (2028)

Maybe a 50% chance of that happening. Who knows?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Thank God, it's only going to take them 15 years to ship a game.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Look forward to it being canceled 5 years into development.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Look forward to it being canceled 5 years into development.

I don't t look forward to it but I fully expect it.

 

[Det]

No way in hell Todd lets another studio do a new numbered entry.

This liar didn't even create the game. Bethesda bought it from Interplay.

 

[adamsapple]

This liar didn't even create the game. Bethesda bought it from Interplay.

Doesn't matter, FO3 is what put the franchise on the mass market map.

 

[analog_future]

So this will release, what? 2030 at the very earliest?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for it! The best game of all times and existence even better than Elder Scrolls VI.

Fallout 5 > Elder Scrolls VI > GTA VI > Witcher 4/RE9 > every other game in existence.

I remember these days. Circa 2007.

 

[MayauMiao]

I hope Fallout 5 kept the settlement build feature, its the best part about Fallout 4.

 

[damidu]

Incredible franchise of course it will be game pass day 1

lol gamepass wont be around in 2035

 

[T-0800]

Funny to think the next Fallout probably won't come to Xbox as by the time it releases Xbox won't exist.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Should have made that instead of Starfield. Sparse Fallout like gameplay spread out on planetswith absolute shit procedural generation. I mean it's good get are getting a new fallout, but it's gonna take forever to come out and I hope BGS can survive the current turmoil of the xbox brand to actually finish the damn thing.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

The fact it took this long shows how retarded microslop is
