We know Fallout 5 is in the works, but according to Bethesda’s Todd Howard, it’s not the only one. Howard recently noted, “Games take a good five-ish years. So we’re in plans for future games in this series, and nothing to talk about right now, but we’re always planning.” That’s new Fallout games in the plural. We like that, and we’re not surprised.
Fallout has always been a popular game series, but it received quite a boost from the recent Prime Video Fallout series. With so many new fans interested in the franchise, it’s a great time to make future plans. According to Variety, Fallout 76 just recently crossed 20 million downloads and plays. Howard shared more about the impact of the series, “Depending on the Fallout game, you’re looking at a 4-6x increase in daily players, which is beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my 30 years of doing this,” Howard shared and continued. “Having an event that brings that many people into games that you have and who have never played your games before, that’s a big thing. New players who have never played a game or never played one of our games. It’s a really, really unique moment.”
Fallout season two is officially on the way. So that can only spell more good news for the franchise. Will we see one of the new Fallout games dive into the world of the show? Only time will tell.
