Xbox Reportedly Working to Release Next Fallout Game "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to a new report, Xbox knows the next Fallout game has to release sooner rather than later and is working on it. Following the release of Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios is now working on The Elder Scrolls 6. And this is what it's going to be doing for the next several years. This means the next Fallout game is probably not going to be out until the 2030s unless something changes. To this end, Xbox knows it has to change something and get something out sooner.

Just bring the quality and hopefully some gameplay refinements.

Like build a new engine if you make me have a 45 second load to enter a building and exit a building on 9th gen hardware to your game is just taking the piss it's absolutely down to the engine and not the hardware it should have been possible to eliminate this load on the PS4 Xbox one but they failed to while other games like witcher 3 and GTA v had no problems with this.

Like all Bethesda games they really need to also address the ultra stiff character animation the dialogue scenes are not great and even in starfield they were substandard compared to other games look at how character interactions are done elsewhere it's far more engaging when you are not standing still talking

[Cacabunga]

I don’t like the sound of «  Sooner than later » especially coming from Xbox

[fr0sty]

Most especially coming from Bethesda, a company known for releasing buggy games, while they are busy working on 2 other projects with MS breathing down their neck to rush this one out while the TV show hype is still hot.

[Walalon]

The thing is coming from Xbox and Bethesda... That's the formula for a pretty big disaster.

[raWfodog]

I would think building a new engine would add significantly more development time than less, unless they implement AI tools to aid in the develelopment time. But that’s another whole can of worms entirely.

[Crows90]

This is a problem....let the games be. Maybe try to get something out by the time next season rolls around. You've got time. If the fallout show continues like this then it'll be fine to wait and invest in a good game.

[-Foxtrot]

I think people are missing the point of this

It’s not rushing a releases for next year it’s Microsoft knowing Bethesda won’t get round to Fallout 5 until 2031 at the earliest and want it to become a franchise that can come out within a typical 4-5 year development over every 15 or so years.

Bethesda took it upon themselves to do a new IP with Starfield which is fair enough, it's great to see studios wanting to do new IPs but in the process of doing that they've created a massive gap for sequels to their other games.

They just don't want to give their franchises away to another studio because I feel after New Vegas they are scared someone else will be able to create a better game to them. If Obsidian were giving a full lengthy development time and a bigger budget I think New Vegas could have been bigger and better than it was.

[Psychonaut85]

Bro let one of the other studios under Bethesda do a spin off.

*Bethesda disliked that*

[Shane Kim]

Got to capitalize on the tv show.

[Demetrius]

I really do enjoy the fallout world, I always been into the series but couldn't get into new vegas cause the gameplay is a slog, the atmosphere was and still top notch tho, decide to finally play fallout 4 and it's been so mf fun it looks good in 60fps

[franwex]

With all the studios that they have, I’m sure they can get a fallout game in a couple of years-if only Microsoft knew how to managed them.

[on_line_forever]

There is no quality in Bethesda games , no good gameplay and combat , no good graphics , bad character design , no complete product without bugs and bad engine

[anast]

With the way AI is progressing, I can see Bethesda pushing one out in less than 20 years.

[Abear21]

Elder Scrolls 6 is years away and it’s already been teased…so how long for Fallout?

Xbox wants the game out asap but how about releasing the games when they are good and ready so we actually want to play them

[JackBNimble]

But you'll never see a game then.

[YourMommySpoils]

And this ladies and gents is how you get poor quality games.

[RhinoGamer88]

Do we really trust Phil and Todd at this point?! Redfall Fail - Fallout 76 three years to good - Star Field Hype Fail

[VincentVanBro]

Uh ohhhh

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Missed opportunity to release a new one to coincidence with the TV show. They could have at least finally remastered Fallout 3 and New Vegas for current consoles (including Switch and PS4).

[FIELDMARSHALL_P]

Capitalism 101 or plot twist they didn't have faith in the show? I would've gotten a remaster. My daughter plays FO4 I did a little bit but didn't really like it might try the update..... She says new Vegas is better she has that on pc.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'm also wondering now if Bethesda regrets the Microsoft buyout.

[attilayavuzer]

Doubt it, they were in financial trouble before the buyout. Probably would've gotten picked up by Embracer or gone under otherwise.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

What are the chances? Bethesda can't even get a next-gen update right.
