Multiple reports suggest Bethesda is developing a remaster of Fallout 3, potentially similar to the recent Oblivion remaster, with no official details yet. The game, originally released in 2008, has been playable on newer consoles via backwards compatibility, but a dedicated remaster has not been announced. Bethesda is also working on Fallout 76, The Elder Scrolls 6, and Fallout 5.
Emil Pagliarulo, studio design director at Bethesda Game Studios, explained that the delay in developing Fallout 5 is due to the team's focus on updating tech and working on other projects like Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. He emphasized the need for time and resources to create great content, indicating that Fallout 5 likely won't arrive until at least 2030.
The release of Fallout 5 from Bethesda is uncertain due to the studio's lengthy development timelines and the upcoming releases of Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. Based on historical patterns, it's speculated that Fallout 5 may not be released until 2031 or even 2033, disappointing fans who are currently enjoying a resurgence of interest in the Fallout series sparked by the Amazon Prime Video show.
Bethesda has officially confirmed that Fallout 5 will be their next big RPG after The Elder Scrolls VI, but fans will have to wait a long time as the studio's slate is full. The release of Starfield means that The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 won't be coming anytime soon, with the latter not expected until the 2030s. Bethesda already has ideas for Fallout 5, but details are scarce.
Bethesda has confirmed that fans should not expect any updates on "Elder Scrolls VI" in the near future, as the game is still in early development. The studio's focus is currently on the release of "Starfield," which has been in development since 2015. This suggests that "Elder Scrolls VI" is still several years away from being released.
