Multiple Fallout Games Are In Developement, Including “The One You’re All Wanting” – WGB

The Fallout series has been weirdly quiet with the last mainline entry being a decade or so ago, which is odd because you’d think Microsoft would have fast-tracked something Fallout related to go with the hugely successful Amazon show of the same name. But there is at least some news on this front: there’s apparently multiple Fallout games in the works.

Jordan Middler of VGC shared the news on the latest episode of the Friends Per Second podcast with SkillUp and Jake Baldino. In a discussion about what Xbox is up to these days, the topic of Fallout popped up.

“There are multiple Fallout projects in development,” said Middler. “including, as far as I’m aware, that one you’re all wanting.”

Whether Middler is referring to Fallout 5, or the long-awaited remaster/remake of either Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas is unclear. Arguably, all three of those could easily claim the title of “one you’re all wanting.”

The bad news is The One is apparently still a long way off.

“…it’s not far enough along to say anything that is like, ‘You’re going to be playing this game anytime soon.’” shared Middler.

Of course, the news isn’t surprising. It would be crazy if Bethesda and Microsoft were not developing something Fallout related, but it’s still nice to hear some confirmation, even if it isn’t official.

Personally, I’m going to assume that Middler was referring to Fallout 5 when he talked about “that one you’re all waiting for.” While it stings to hear that it’s still far away, I strongly suspect one of the other projects will be a remake or remaster of Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas along similar lines to the recent Elder Scrolls: Oblivion release. I also think we’ll see it by the end of 2026, perhaps with a chance of it even coming this year.
