Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 will be the studio’s next project after The Elder Scrolls 6.
In an interview with IGN, Howard said, “Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 is in preproduction and, you know, we’re going to be doing Fallout 5 after that, so our slate’s pretty full going forward for a while. We have some other projects that we look at from time to time as well.”
It’s going to be a while until we see The Elder Scrolls 6, and even longer for Fallout 5. The Elder Scrolls 6 was first teased all the way back during E3 2018 and still doesn’t have a release window. Bethesda’s currently busy working on Starfield and so its focus will be on that until it releases in 2023.
Howard previously mentioned that he does have a one-pager for Fallout 5, as well as what he’d like to do with the game, but nothing is set in stone quite yet.
Starfield was originally supposed to come out on November 11, 2022, but was delayed to 2023. This leaves an enormous hole within Microsoft’s exclusive content portfolio for this year, but does set up the platform for a monstrous 2023.
While The Elder Scrolls 6 was officially announced four years ago, the platforms it would be on weren’t confirmed yet, giving Microsoft wiggle room to claim it as an exclusive for Xbox and PC since it now owns Bethesda. With Starfield being exclusive to Microsoft and The Elder Scrolls 6 likely being as well, Fallout 5 will most surely be too.
The most recent games in the Fallout series were 2018’s Fallout 76 and 2016’s Fallout 4. In the time between now and Fallout 5, maybe we can hope for a sequel to Fallout: New Vegas.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
