Fallout is definitively one of the hottest properties in gaming right now, and that's all despite their not having been a new release in the series since MMO Fallout 76 in 2018. The Prime Video adaptation brought a ton of new fans on board, and reminded existing fans just how exciting the franchise can be when done right.
The only unfortunate caveat to that excitement is that Bethesda is largely focused on The Elder Scrolls VI right now, with many expecting the next Fallout game to release beyond 2030. That said, things are changing all over the place at parent company MIcrosoft/Xbox right now, and there could be the green shoots of hope that the game is finally getting the attention it deserves.
In case you missed it, The Information reported on new Xbox head Asha Sharma's meteoric rise to the position, and what it means for the brand going forward. As part of that, it mentions that Sharma has a few particular areas of focus, one of which is getting the next Fallout game out to fans as soon as possible.
Though there's the obvious risk of it going too far and releasing in a state that isn't acceptable...
