Fallout 5 is officially in development, but unfortunately may be far from release. He’s one of the most anticipated games, especially considering he hasn’t had his Fallout game in single player since 2015.
Starfield is the first game slated to release before Fallout 5, and fortunately isn’t too far away. No. Then we can finally hope for Fallout 5, but we may be old and gray by then.
There certainly isn’t much at this point when it comes to official information on Fallout 5. What we do have are comments from Bethesda, Todd Howard, and some rumors that have surfaced over the last few years. There are also things. Here’s everything we know about Fallout 5 so far. We will update this page with the latest news as new details emerge.
Fallout 5: Getting to the point
- what is that? The next installment in the Fallout franchise
- When can we play? to be decided
- What console will it be on? Most likely not PlayStation
Fallout 5 release date and platforms
There’s currently no confirmed release date for Fallout 5, but there’s a lot of speculation. We’ve seen some optimistic predictions, but given Bethesda’s resolute focus on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, we’re ignoring the fact that the game hasn’t been revealed and we’re hoping for a long time. Is not.
As it stands, we expect Fallout 5’s release date to be many years away, actually widening the gap of the last seven years between Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout 4 (2015). Years later it feels more realistic.
However, in an interview with IGN in November 2021, Todd Howard said the studio has “an overview of Fallout 5.” Ask me anything more.
Moreover, if you talk IGN (opens in new tab) In June 2022, Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 would be a Bethesda project. rear The Elder Scrolls 6. That game is still in pre-production and may be years away from release, so we’ll be waiting a long time for the next Fallout.
Platforms for Fallout 5 haven’t been confirmed yet, but we could see the next Fallout release for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. If you’re not considering next-gen consoles at this point, that’s. PS5 is another matter, though.
The former bought the latter, so it’s no surprise that Microsoft and Bethesda would make this an exclusive title. However, Xbox says exclusivity deals for new games from Bethesda will be decided on a case-by-case basis, so it’s hard to say for sure. I have.
Given that console lifecycles typically last around seven years, it seems likely that Fallout 5 will be released on these systems before the next next-gen system is introduced.
Fallout 5 Locations and Settings: Where Can I Set Up?
If you’ve played a Fallout game, you know how much you love the setting of a post-apocalyptic, nuclear-ravaged America. All Fallout games are set in US states, so it’s no surprise that this aspect hasn’t changed. Fallout 3, for example, was set in Washington, while Fallout 4 was set in Boston.
While it’s great to see Fallout explore different parts of the world, it changes the game too much and can alienate long-term fans, especially those who love the setting. You don’t have to look far to see fans discuss and fantasize about how.
Here are the most rumored locations we’ve heard rumors about so far:
new orleans
Rumors of a new Fallout game set in New Orleans began after a trademark filing for “”.fallout new orleans (opens in new tab)” was discovered online in 2016. Ultimately, this list came to nothing in his five-plus years, but it could all be a clever bait and switch.
I’ve visited swamps in Fallout, but a game set entirely in the South would be an interesting take.
Chicago
This is a little more “out there” in terms of its effectiveness. Fans of Fallout: New Vegas will remember hints at an Enclave outpost in Chicago, so setting the game in the Windy City is nothing more than speculation.
anywhere in the world
A Fallout game has never been released outside the United States. Will Fallout 5 buck this trend? Setting the game in Korea, China, Russia, and more provides great ways to change the look of entire maps and locations. A new release is the perfect opportunity to give the franchise a fresh aesthetic.
Fallout 5 Multiplayer: Is There?
Multiplayer and online co-op
All mainline Fallout games are single-player only. Fans have probably always loved the idea of roaming an apocalyptic wasteland with friends, but when they tried this in Fallout 76, it didn’t work.
Fallout 5 may only be made as a single player experience, given that the Fallout 76 team is constantly trying to update and improve the online service’s multiplayer experience. Given 76’s troubled history, Fallout 5 was probably too affected by a “bad” multiplayer experience. That seems to be something Bethesda wants to avoid right now.
Social features aren’t going away. There may be a social system to leave messages and hint at (or troll) other players, as we’ve seen in games such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but in the world of Fallout that may not be appropriate. There is a nature.
