Xbox Accelerates Development of Next Fallout Game Amid Franchise Popularity

Xbox is reportedly expediting the development of Fallout 5, potentially outsourcing it to meet growing fan demand.

Recent success of the Fallout TV series has reignited interest in the video game series, leading to a surge in player counts.
Xbox is aware of the high anticipation for Fallout 5 and is exploring faster development options, possibly involving other studios.
Bethesda Game Studios, currently focused on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, may not develop the next Fallout game.
The release of Fallout 5 is not expected until after The Elder Scrolls 6, potentially pushing it into the 2030s unless plans change.
Speculations suggest that Obsidian Entertainment could develop a Fallout spin-off, such as Fallout: New Vegas 2, to maintain fan engagement.
