The success of the Fallout TV show has led to something of a renaissance for the series, with all of the best Fallout games seeing a substantial spike in players over the past week. You'll need to stick to those games for now, though, as it seems as though Fallout 5 continues to be a long, long way off.
In a recent Twitter exchange, Bethesda veteran (and Fallout lore magnate) Emil Pagliarulo is asked exactly why so much time goes into making a Bethesda game. With The Elder Scrolls 6 not releasing until 2026 at the earliest and Starfield in development for the best part of a decade, the best guess for the next Fallout game suggests it might not be coming out until the 2030s. So if we're going to be waiting six more years, what's taking up all that time at Bethesda?
