Fallout 76 lead artist and Bethesda veteran Nate Purkeypile has always wanted to see the next Fallout game – including Fallout 5 – take place in the United States' Deep South. Georgia peaches or Louisiana swamps could provide a nice change of scenery for the apocalyptic franchise, and it helps that they don't require a passport.
"I personally wouldn't expect Bethesda to actually [set Fallout internationally] outside of DLC because they're very tied into the whole Americana thing," Purkeypile tells Esports Insider in a new interview. "Realistically, it is a business, and I think it's pretty evident already that if you push a franchise a little bit outside of what people are expecting, it can backfire a lot."
