Bethesda Wants to Meet ‘Fallout' Hype With Show Tie-Ins and New Games
If you're a fan of Prime Video's Fallout show and the games it's based on, it sounds like Bethesda's getting ready to capitalize on its current and future success. Talking to Variety, Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush teased that game's team and the creative forces behind the series have discussed 'lining things up with the seasonal releases of the show.' The implication is some in-game tie-ins to the show, maybe skins for the key characters or an in-game event reminiscent of certain episodes, similar to what Fortnite does with major properties on a regular basis. Timeline-wise, there's a 200-year gap between 76 (set in the past) and the show ('furthest in the future'), and the developers are intentionally keeping any overlap 'pretty simple.' Rush vaguely noted the two projects 'go together really well,' so expect them to link up eventually. For the fans of Fallout's single-player offerings, which have been nonexistent in the past decade, you might be getting something, too. In a recent episode of the Friends Per Second Podcast, VGC journalist Jordan Middler claimed 'multiple projects' for the post-apocalyptic series are in development, including 'as far as I'm aware, that one you're all wanting.' That last comment suggests a remaster of 2008's Fallout 3, which was mentioned in Microsoft's leaked documents from 2023 alongside a remaster of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It's a mystery as to what those other projects could be, save for one likely being Fallout 5. Middler indicated that most-desired project is several years away, so it'll be some time before anything concrete comes. Luckily, season two of Fallout is just a few months away, hitting Prime Video sometime in December. Want more io9 news?

Fallout: New Vegas 2 teased amongst ‘multiple' new Fallout games
New rumours suggest that Bethesda and others are working on a range of new Fallout titles, including a potential remaster of Fallout 3. Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon's Fallout is the most successful live action adaptation of a video game ever, even more so than The Last Of Us. It had a huge effect on sales of the existing games but there hasn't been a new one since online spin-off Fallout 76 in 2018, and it's been a full decade since Fallout 4. Bethesda has barely even hinted at a new entry and with work going slowly on The Elder Scrolls 6 it's not going to be until the next decade before we see Fallout 5. Spin-offs and remasters are the obvious answer to that problem but so far there's been none of those either, just the fan-made Fallout: London. But according to new rumours they are on the way, including a possible sequel to fan favourite Fallout: New Vegas. The obvious assumption is that Bethesda quickly put a bunch of new titles into production, once the Amazon show became a surprise hit. Speaking on the podcast Friends Per Second, VGC's Jordan Middler suggested that there were 'multiple' Fallout games currently in development, but didn't mention any by name and implied that none of them were close to release. The only time he got close to being specific was when he alluded to 'one that I'm sure you're all wanting', which we would've interpreted as a remaster of Fallout: New Vegas.

However, he then followed that up with a quip, saying: 'Anyway, New Vegas 2, coming soon.' It's unclear to what degree this is a joke, since the 'coming soon' aspect is obviously not true. But the whole comment may not have been meant seriously. Fallout: New Vegas was made, not by Bethesda, but by Avowed developer Obsidian Entertainment. Despite being many fans' favourite in the series it's rarely acknowledged by Bethesda and many suspect they're secretly jealous that it gets more love than Fallout 3 and 4. As it happens though, Microsoft now owns both Bethesda and Obsidian, so can make them do whatever they want. But despite Obsidian admitting they'd like to do a remaster nothing has ever been announced or seemed to be in development – not least because Obsidian has so much on its plate at the moment, including this year's The Outer Worlds 2. More Trending There's been even less talk of a New Vegas 2, although there was a suggestion of Obsidian being in 'early talks' for it in 2022 and then a reference to it in the code of the Fallout 4 next gen update in 2023. A Fallout 3 remaster has been rumoured for some time, but it's never been officially announced and the last time we heard about it, it was said to be in trouble. Although the success of Oblivion will no doubt have made it more of a priority. As for Fallout 5, Middler speculates that by the time The Elder Scrolls 6 is out, which is imagined to be sometime around 2028, director Todd Howard will be old enough that he might not want to spend the best part of the next decade making Fallout 5. That's by no means guaranteed but his unwillingness to let anyone else make a mainline entry would explain why everything is taking so long.
