Fallout 76 is about the closest we're likely get to a fully-fledged Fallout MMO—given the genre's pretty hard to get into nowadays and, well, it's doing rather well. But there was a time that would've seen a massively multiplayer variant of the wasteland competing with Blizzard's biggest: The ill-fated, legally-tangled Fallout Online.
That's per Matt Firor, in an interview with YouTube channel MinnMax. Firor was the director and founder of ZeniMax, which runs The Elder Scrolls Online, before leaving the studio in 2025 shortly after Microsoft's bloodbath, which saw his brainchild Project Blackbird cancelled. He also worked on another MMO, Dark Age of Camelot, back in the day.
