Bethesda Confirms Fallout 5 in Pre-Production, Fans Worry About Long Wait

Bethesda has officially announced Fallout 5 is in pre-production using Creation Engine 3, alongside remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, but fans remain concerned about lengthy development timelines. The announcement, made in July, also revealed a new Fallout title is being co-developed with Obsidian Entertainment. However, The Elder Scrolls VI remains Bethesda's top priority, meaning these Fallout projects are likely years from release, with no trailers or images shown. Fans expressed skepticism online, citing Bethesda's eight-year silence on The Elder Scrolls VI and disappointment with Starfield's performance. Many worry about long waits and technical quality, referencing the abandoned Oblivion remaster as a cautionary example.
