It's been a busy year for Fallout. The television series continues to be one of Prime Video's biggest successes; Fallout 4 recently celebrated its 10th anniversary; and Fallout 76 shows no signs of slowing down after years of free content updates. For a franchise whose next numbered entry is still years away, there's already plenty happening across the wasteland.
Bethesda has spent much of that time celebrating where Fallout has been, but fans have been eager to learn where the series is going to go next. Questions about the future of Fallout 5, rumors of long-awaited remasters, and reports of additional projects have kept speculation swirling as the franchise continues to grow beyond the games.
Bethesda has finally shared a sweeping update on the future of the franchise, confirming that Fallout 5 remains its "long-range destination" while revealing that multiple Fallout projects are currently in active development. The announcement also includes updates on remasters, ongoing game support, television projects, and even plans for the series' 30th anniversary.
Bethesda Reveals What's Next for the 'Fallout' Franchise
One of the biggest reveals is that Bethesda has been working on remasters of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. While the publisher stopped short of announcing release dates, it confirmed that both projects are in development, giving fans the opportunity to revisit two of the franchise's most beloved entries that they've been asking for years. Bethesda also confirmed that they are collaborating with Obsidian Entertainment again on a new Fallout project that has already been reported, but did not reveal any additional details, saying only that it would have more to share in the future.
Support for the existing games isn't slowing down, either. Bethesda announced that Fallout 76 will receive a major expansion next year titled Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3. The studio also celebrated Fallout 4 surpassing 35 million copies sold, more than a decade after its release. Bethesda also highlighted the continued success of Fallout Shelter, which has now reached more than 250 million players worldwide. New Seasons are on the way, and Bethesda revealed that an unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is in development with Amazon Studios and Kilter Films. Outside the games, Bethesda congratulated Amazon Studios and Kilter Films on Fallout Season 2 receiving 10 Emmy nominations as Season 3 is in production.
Looking further ahead, Bethesda also announced plans to celebrate Fallout's 30th anniversary with a live Fallout Day event in Washington, D.C., in 2027. While there won't be a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, Bethesda says the milestone celebration will mark the franchise's biggest anniversary yet. Bethesda said it will share more information on several of these projects in the future, but for now, the publisher has offered its clearest look yet at what's next for the wasteland.
