Fallout 5 remains one of the most anticipated RPGs in development, and Bethesda has made it clear that the next mainline entry will have to account for some major developments across the franchise. The long wait for another single-player Fallout game has been difficult to ignore, especially as the series has experienced a massive resurgence in popularity thanks to Amazon's live-action adaptation. While Bethesda continues supporting Fallout 76 and working on several other projects, the next numbered entry is still years away.
One of the more interesting questions surrounding Fallout 5 is how Bethesda intends to handle the growing relationship between its games and the television series. Unlike many video game adaptations, Amazon's Fallout isn't simply retelling an existing story. It takes place within the established universe, introducing new characters and events that become part of the franchise's larger history. With Season 2 expanding into New Vegas territory and Season 3 also in the works, the show's story has become increasingly important to the future of Fallout as a whole.
