Todd Howard says Bethesda is “in plans for future games” in the series, but isn’t ready to say anything about that yet.
In an interview withVarietydiscussing the Fallout TV Show, Howard was asked what the success of the series might mean for new games in the universe. After all, it’s been six years since Fallout 76 (which just got its newFallout 76 Skyline Valley map) launched, and nearly a decade since the Fallout 4 marked the last traditional single-player entry.
In response to that question, Howard admitted that while he feels “like it took us 15 years from its initial inception” despite only taking five years, that’s how long it takes to make a modern Bethesda game. The studio is “in plans for future games in this series,” he says, but withStarfieldless than a year old andThe Elder Scrolls 6next on the docket, there’s “nothing to talk about right now.”
One thing we do know is thatFallout 5 and beyond will “predominantly” be set in the US.
