Fallout 5 is next after The Elder Scrolls 6, Todd Howard says

After Starfield, will be coming to Xbox Series X (Windows PC) next year. The Elder Scrolls 6, which is now “in pre-production,” there will be a Fallout 5. So says Todd Howard, creative director at Bethesda Game Studios, in a new interview with IGN that was chiefly about his team’s next game, the spacefaring RPG Starfield.

Reacting to the lengthy period between Bethesda Game Studios games and how long sequels tend to take, Howard told IGN, “Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production and, you know, we’re going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate’s pretty full going forward for a while. Other projects are also on the horizon, though they can take time. They should have been out sooner, they really are. We’re trying as hard as we can, but we want them to be as best as they can be for everybody.”

Howard and his company were officially announced Starfield The Elder Scrolls 6It was delayed until 2018, but the first version is expected to arrive next year. It was delayed in November 2018. A similar development window for the latter would peg the next Elder Scrolls game somewhere around 2027, which makes the prospect of the next Fallout game’s release window simply too soul-draining to actually type out. That, of course, assumes that only Bethesda Game Studios itself would dedicate five years to each of its upcoming games, and that primary development wouldn’t be handed off to, say, one-time Fallout developer Obsidian Entertainment, which is currently busy with multiple role-playing games of its own (Pentiment, AdoptedAnd The Outer Worlds 2,).
