@JamesTwoSheep @TKsMantis Holy shit that is insane. Great job.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@G27Status We are feasting

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

Kind of refreshing to get a road map from Bethesda. I think the era of being “Rockstar Silent” or whatever you want to call it, is over. These games take so long that being open is the better call.

Excited to see Fallout 3 and NV remasters and Obsidians spin-off confirmed. Fallout fans eating good in the near future.

A NOTE FROM BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS

We love making these worlds as much as you love playing in them. Today, we want to share what's next for Bethesda Game Studios and what you can expect from us in the years ahead.

For forty years, we've built games that have entertained almost half a billion players. More than just games, these are worlds. Worlds for you to explore, shape, and make your own. Worlds we return to together.

That's what's driving us forward. We're investing more deeply in the worlds players love, giving creators a bigger role in shaping their experiences, and bringing our teams closer together so we can get our games into your hands sooner, support them longer, and continue building them alongside you for decades to come.

STARFIELD CONTINUES

With over 17 million players logging almost a billion hours to date, Starfield remains an important part of our future. As we enter Year 3, we'll continue expanding the Settled Systems with new stories, targeted gameplay improvements, and additional updates, while preparing for the launch of new Starborn content next year. More than 40% of players already customize their experience through Creations, and we'll continue investing in creators and giving players new ways to make Starfield their own.

CREATED BY PLAYERS

We've believed from the beginning that our worlds belong not only to the people who make them, but also to the people who play them. That's why we've long provided players with the tools to create their own experiences, dating back to the Morrowind Construction Set. This year marked another major milestone for Creations with its expansion to Fallout 4, joining Skyrim and Starfield. We're proud to say Creators have already earned more than $10 million in royalties from their work.

THE FUTURE OF FALLOUT

Fallout is one of our biggest priorities today. Fallout 5 remains our long-range destination, and we have multiple Fallout projects in active development right now.

Fallout 76 continues to be home to millions of players exploring Appalachia together. With nearly 70 free updates released to date, the journey is far from over. In fact, we have a major Fallout 76 expansion planned for next year: Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3.
Fallout 4, the most award-winning game in the franchise, just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and recently passed over 35 million copies sold, continuing to attract a new audience every year.

We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we're not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout Shelter continues to be the most popular way to experience Fallout on the go, with more than 250 million players. There’s more ahead for Fallout Shelter, including new Seasons. An unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is also in the works with our partners at Amazon Studios and Kilter Films.

We'd like to congratulate Kilter Films and Amazon Studios on the 10 Emmy nominations for Fallout Season 2. Production on Season 3 is already underway.

And while we won't host a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, we're already planning something special for Fallout's 30th anniversary in 2027, when Fallout Day will be celebrated live in Washington, D.C.

STUDIO COLLABORATION

The wasteland continues to expand as we team up once again with our longtime friends at Obsidian Entertainment. We're happy to confirm they're working with us on a new Fallout project. We'll have more to share in the future.

We're also bringing our teams closer together across Bethesda. ZeniMax Online Studios will partner closely with Bethesda Game Studios on The Elder Scrolls franchise, while continuing to deliver incredible new experiences for The Elder Scrolls Online. Season One: Return of the Thieves Guild recently launched, and the team has more planned for the future. By aligning more directly across the franchise, we can create even better experiences for players.

Bringing our teams closer together is helping us build a stronger foundation for everything we create next.

THE ELDER SCROLLS AND BEYOND

That foundation extends beyond our teams to the technology, tools, and systems that will power the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.

Our teams are now developing The Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 on Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform we've been building since Starfield's launch. It allows our teams to support multiple projects simultaneously with new tools, rendering, and systems that define our games.

Fallout 5 is currently in preproduction. The Elder Scrolls VI is our primary development focus today, with the majority of our team currently working on the next chapter of the franchise. With over 65 million copies sold, players are still exploring Skyrim 15 years later, but we know it’s been a very long wait for the sequel.
The next chapter is on the way. We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.

THE ROAD AHEAD

Across Bethesda Game Studios, we're building for the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield. We're investing in our technology, bringing teams closer together, supporting our live games, expanding into new forms of entertainment, and developing the next generation of Bethesda RPGs.

We couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead and wanted to share as much as we could today. We can’t thank you enough for all you’ve given to us and these worlds. And we can’t wait to continue them together.

@KingFanMan Happy Birthday, man! 🎉

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@JuiceHead33 Those initial reviews for the odyssey look insane though. Dune’s just an added bonus.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@FilmsFallout Personally hoping for a Fallout: Lonestar type of thing in Texas. But also New Orleans or Chicago could be cool.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@TKsMantis That’s true. I guess in my mind I’m thinking more technical aspects? I’m worried about unreal engine or limitations. But I think you’re right about story direction and world building, very safe hands.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

On one hand I’m glad Obsidian gets to have another go at Fallout, on the other I have to wonder if this is the same team that can capture what made New Vegas special in the first place… time will tell

[CharlieIntel @charlieINTEL]

Xbox's Obsidian Entertainment studio has canceled work on the next Avowed game as part of restructuring and is now starting to work on a new Fallout game

[via Bloomberg]

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@JuiceHead33 Guess we have Fallout 3 remastered to keep us happy till then… right?

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

They did release Starfield in between Fallout 4 and upcoming ES VI. But it’s not what the people wanted and the elder scrolls suffered for it. I think they had the thought process of spin-offs in a way with ESO and 76. The continual updates on those were meant to be that. But those games didn’t really matter to most and it’s not why those franchises are loved. Also oblivion remastered but that’s not fresh content. Good games in their own rights but they did not satisfy the original fan base in my opinion.

They should absolutely let other studios do spin-offs. Trusted studios though and it should be new fresh content.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@vicious696 I mean a Fallout 3 or NV remaster was right there for the picking. But I guess 3’s remaster might coincide with Season 3 of the show. So there is some hope for that at least.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@JuiceHead33 That’s actually terrible. Some of those veterans made some of the most beloved games of all time. Insane.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

I think refocusing Bethesda is a good thing, for now at least. But I’m worried about the future. Will they just start to push games out Willy nilly and then quality starts to suffer? Xbox leadership needs to get their shit together though. Losing all those employees thanks to past actions should never happen again.

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Bethesda will be refocused with the Xbox changes today, and will prioritize its key franchises 🎮

• ‘The Elder Scrolls’
• ‘Fallout’
• ‘Doom’
• ‘Quake’
• ‘Wolfenstein’

@kalaelizabeth Standing in line for Skyrim with a bunch of my friends that didn’t even play RPG’s was an insane experience. There were so many people there talking about mammoths and dragons. It was amazing, I’ll never forget it.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@UESP_net Malacath maybe? It’s almost like Malachi or something

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

Damn man. This is absolutely brutal. Having such a great show just about a week ago to this is such a shame. I’m a little worried for the future of the franchises we love.

[Paul Tassi @PaulTassi]

Microsoft is gonna be Activision Blizzard, Bethesda and Halo Studios at this point. Maybe Obsidian if they put them on a Fallout game

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@JuiceHead33 Yeah I want to see other developers have their chance with the IP. Someone like InXile would be amazing for a fallout spinoff.

[Mason From TLV & CG @IAmFantasyScifi]

@fable Let’s go! Looks great
