We're probably not getting a new Fallout game until well into the 2030s, but that's no reason to stop talking about them
The bombs may fall for real before then.
The last main installment in the Fallout series, Fallout 4, debuted in 2015. The next major game in the series, Fallout 5, is likely a decade or more away, as Bethesda first needs to complete and release The Elder Scrolls 6, which may also take a few years. While fans have enjoyed Fallout 76 and Microsoft's efforts led by Obsidian Entertainment, it's uncertain when Fallout 5 will finally arrive, possibly not until 2032 or even later.
Despite the potential wait, it's essential to continue discussing the Fallout franchise. PC Gamer suggests a few thoughts on the series, such as remastering the first two games (Fallout and Fallout 2), playing Fallout 4 in Hardcore mode, and exploring the possibility of a more free-spirited Fallout TV series to deviate from established lore.
Other ideas include making Fallout less centered on a Vault Dweller, embracing the existence of Fallout beyond the main games, and appreciating the success of Fallout Shelter alongside other spinoffs.
