Fallout was already popular among PC gamers in the '90s, but it has taken off into the stratosphere over the last few decades. Following Bethesda's takeover and the release of Fallout 3, the series has seen multiple spinoffs and mainline entries, as well as cross-media projects such as board games and TV.
The show alone has brought in many new fans, many of whom picked up the games for the first time. Given the disparate timelines and the ability to create your own character, any game is a decent starting point. Still, fans want more settings and storylines, and we're going to get them with a future mainline game.
After years of speculation, Bethesda has finally confirmed that we're getting Fallout 5. The thing is, the official release date update that the company provided on X isn't quite what everyone expected.
Thanks to a new social post from Bethesda, we have full official confirmation that Fallout 5 is in the works. The thing is, it hasn't been in the works for very long. According to the company, "Fallout 5 remains [their] long-range destination," and they "have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now."
Fans were quick...
