AFallout 5release datemayhave been narrowed down, but we’re still going to be in for a very long wait indeed.

As forFallout 5, we know that it’sarriving at some point, we just don’t know exactly when.

That being said, it’s probably safe to assume that it will likely arrive sometime after the release ofThe Elder Scrolls VI, another game yet to have a confirmed release date.

“They are formulating plans on how to get the next Fallout sooner rather than later,” he adds.

As disappointing as the “before 2030” release might be, it makes sense. Despite being announced during E3 2018, as stated,The Elder Scrolls VIdoes not have a release date.

If we’re lucky, it might arrive between 2026 and 2027.

This then leaves the door open forFallout 5with a release window of three to four years afterThe Elder Scrolls VI. Historically, we’ve had to wait many years between Fallout releases for the next mainline game.

For example,Fallout 4was released about seven years afterFallout 3(with the spin-offFallout: New Vegaslaunching in between). However, at this point, we’re looking at the largest gap for the next release in the series.

Not including the multiplayer spin-offFallout 76which was released in 2018, withFallout 4releasing in 2015, the gap leading up toFallout 5could be a whopping 15 years.

We should take all speculation with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise and we can only speculate whenFallout 5will be released, but we’ll be sure to update you once official information drops.
