The Elder Scrolls VImay be Bethesda’s next project, but that’s not going to stop us from talking aboutFallout 5.
It’s been a relatively good year for fans of the post-apocalyptic franchise.
Yes, admittedly,Fallout4’s new-gen update left something to be desired but Prime Video’s TV adaptation truly dazzled us all.

With a second season already in an accelerated rate of production, it shouldn’t be too long before the show’s next chapter lands on our screen.
‘Too long’ in the grand scheme of things, I should add.
It could be two years before Lucy, The Ghoul, and Maximus are back, but that’s nothing compared to the wait we’ve got ahead when it comes toFallout 5.
Let’s put it this way.The Elder Scrolls VIisn’t expected to land for another couple of years.

It’s only at that point that production will really kick into gear onFallout 5,and we know thatBethesdalikes to take its time.
Assumedly then, that might putFallout 5’s release date sometime around 2030 - although Microsoft is reportedly seeking to change that.

The problem is that fans are concerned that outsourcing would lead to a rushed game that simply doesn’t feel authentically Bethesda.
“They are gonna release a broken mess to jump on the hype from the TV show,”fearedReddit user BloodnadBourbon.
“And yet again, Xbox is gonna rush out a terrible product and afterwards they’ll be sitting there wondering, ‘Why do our games keep failing? It’s just good games that don’t sell anymore, that’s it.’ They only care about hitting certain checkmarks and nothing else,”addedIIQII.

Of course, we don’t know for certain the exact nature of Bethesda nor Microsoft’s plans.
Bringing Obsidian onboard, for example, could be a great move but I think we’ll all have to remain patient for now.
