Tongues are loosened during this period of Summer Game Fest 2022. Todd Howard has just confirmed that the long-awaited Fallout 5 does indeed exist. But, there is a but.
We could all have guessed it, but Todd Howard preferred to confirm it orally during an interview with the IGN site. Fallout 5 is a reality and it is well under development.
Fallout 5 is finally confirmed but…
The franchise with millions of fans will sign its big comeback and we imagine that Bethesda is particularly eager to draw a line under Fallout 76 which has never really been able to recover from its chaotic launch. But will Fallout 5 arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X or will we have to wait for the next generation before plunging back into post-apocalyptic lands?
The man at the head of Bethesda gave some indications. The game will be the priority, but not before the release of The Elder Scrolls 6. And since the latter is only in the pre-production stage, we are not ready to see it yet. ” Yes, The Elder Scrolls 6 is in pre-production. You know, we’re going to do Fallout 5 after this so our schedule is full for a while. We also have a few other projects that we review from time to time”explained Todd Howard.
A release on PS6 and the next Xbox console?
It is therefore a very early confirmation, perhaps even more than The Elder Scrolls 6, which was made official in 2018, let’s remember. Fallout 5 shouldn’t see the light of day for a long time and at this rate it will certainly arrive on PS6 and the next Xbox console. Fans might not have to wait that long to get their hands on another game, though.
With the return of Obsidian and Bethesda in the same stable, the rumors around a certain Fallout New Vegas 2 are persistent. Maybe Microsoft will opt for a spin-off to offer a little appetizer before the release of Fallout 5, we hope so anyway. For now, priority is given to Starfield, which is scheduled for release in 2023. The so-called “Skyrim in space” has also shown itself in a very long gameplay sequence. And since we’re nice, we’ve compiled everything you need to remember from Starifeld’s presentation.
