Fallout 5 "Fully Greenlit": What we know so far
Fallout 5 is now officially considered to be fully greenlit, according to a gaming reporter, Jez Cordon, which generated new waves of interest within the gaming community. Bethesda has not revealed much about this, and the fact that this has been confirmed might indicate that they are past the early stages of concept development and are now in the internal development.

Fallout 5 will presumably continue the tradition established by its predecessors with the same level of detail in post-apocalyptic RPG gameplay in an alternative future destroyed by nuclear war. Even though information regarding this sequel is minimal, this upgrade is another indication that the highly anticipated sequel is no longer a dream; it is indeed on the road to reality.

The industry insiders say that Bethesda is now busy mobilizing its resources and beginning to develop the direction in which the game will take. Nevertheless, one should be careful about the expectations; the process of development is still thought to be at its early stages.
Here is what we currently know:

Fallout 5 may still be some way off, given that The Elder Scrolls VI is still being worked on at Bethesda.
Bethesda has historically taken a long development cycle between titles:
Fallout 3 (2008)
Fallout: New Vegas (2010, developed by Obsidian)
Fallout 4 (2015)
Fallout 76 (2018, multiplayer spin-off)
This trend suggests Fallout 5 will take several years before it is ready for public release.
The greenlighting of Fallout 5 serves as an important step forward, as fans are waiting to see something new in the famous post-apocalyptic franchise. Even though we are still at a very early stage in the development of the game, this confirmation confirms that Fallout 5 is not a distant dream anymore, but a feasible project underway. As Bethesda keeps doing its job, there should be more specific details brought to light within the upcoming years that will slowly unravel what to expect in the next adventure within the wastelands.
