According toa recent episodeof the Xbox Two Podcast, Jez Corden stated that Xbox is aware of the demand for a new game, and sees a problem in Bethesda still finishing work onStarfieldand then releasingThe Elder Scrolls VI. This is pushingFallout 5’srelease date further and further away.
This obviously needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as no official announcements have been made at the time of writing.
That being said, with Fallout TV series already getting a second season, and the playerbase on games likeFallout 4skyrocketingit’d make perfect sense to speed up development of the next mainline game.
