Bethesda announces Fallout 5, Fallout 76 expansion, and remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Bethesda Softworks has unveiled an extensive multi-project roadmap for the Fallout franchise, signaling a major reinvestment driven by Xbox after years without a mainline release. Central to the studio's long-term plans is Fallout 5, which has formally entered pre-production as a long-range destination. In the nearer term, Fallout 76 is slated to receive a major expansion titled Raven Rock in 2027, serving as a narrative prequel to Fallout 3. The roadmap also encompasses an untitled project in development at Obsidian Entertainment, while production continues on external adaptations, with a third season of the Fallout television series having recently wrapped filming.
In addition to future titles, Bethesda confirmed long-rumored remasters of Fallout 3 and Obsidian's 2010 spin-off Fallout: New Vegas for modern platforms. While specific launch windows were withheld, court documents from Federal Trade Commission litigation regarding Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard revealed that a Fallout 3 remaster has been planned since at least 2020. These projects follow other recent rereleases from the publisher, including The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and 2025's Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, even as Bethesda Game Studios actively develops its next fantasy entry, The Elder Scrolls 6: Sentinel.
