July 19, 2026 - 22:39

Bethesda Game Studios has officially confirmed that Obsidian Entertainment is working on a new entry in the Fallout series, putting an end to weeks of speculation. The announcement came as part of a broader roadmap for the franchise, which also includes the long-awaited Fallout 5, now in early pre-production. In addition to these new projects, Bethesda revealed that remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are in the works, aiming to bring the classic titles to modern platforms with improved visuals and performance.

The news follows a report from last week suggesting Obsidian was shifting focus to the post-apocalyptic RPG series. While details on Obsidian's project remain scarce, the studio's deep history with the franchise, having developed the critically acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas, has fans optimistic. Bethesda emphasized that the remasters are intended to preserve the original gameplay while updating the technical side, though no release dates were provided. Fallout 5, meanwhile, is still in its earliest stages, with Bethesda likely prioritizing other major projects first. The confirmation marks a significant moment for the series, which has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to the Amazon TV adaptation and ongoing modding community support.
