It was only a matter of time before Fallout 5<\/a> officially began development. However, it probably wasn\u2019t expected that it would be at the expense of one of Bethesda<\/a>\u2018s unannounced projects.<\/p>\n

Bethesda is in favor of a \u201csurefire win\u201d with Fallout 5<\/p>\n

In a recent report from the Xbox Two Podcast<\/a>, Windows Central\u2019s Jez Corden suggests that Fallout 5 is now moving forward with development. Exactly which of Bethesda\u2019s studios is working on the game is unknown. History would suggest that Bethesda Game Studios would be on the project. However, Corden believes that core team is working on Starfield DLC and the previously announced The Elder Scrolls VI.<\/p>\n

Corden also says that Fallout 5 was greenlit due to the recently canceled unannounced MMO project from ZeniMax Online, codenamed Blackbird. Corden says the cost of MMOs, along with competing with existing successful games, like World of Warcraft and The Elder Scrolls Online, had led to Microsoft\u2019s decision to cancel the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I heard, it was a case of \u2018Do we want to sink a ton of money into getting this to a point where it can compete with the established players in the market, or do we want to allocate that investment towards making Fallout 5?’\u201d Corden said.<\/p>\n

Like any rumor, it may be wise to take the information with a grain of salt. While Fallout 5 may be in the early stages of development, no word has come out from Bethesda or Xbox about the matter.<\/p>\n

In terms of a Fallout 5 release date<\/a>, it could be several years until players get to escape a vault again. In comparing similar projects, Starfield was formally revealed in 2018 and didn\u2019t launch until 2023. The Elder Scrolls VI was announced on that same day and hasn\u2019t received a worthwhile update since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was only a matter of time before Fallout 5 officially began development.
