[the thicc husband & father @lukeisamazing]

it’s a sign of deep respect in our culture

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@RazorwireRPG This is why I fell in love with BGS in 2009. Thank you for bringing up this point

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@TKsMantis ES6 will be much earlier than 2031

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@SynthPotato @BethesdaStudios @vicious696 This would actually be worse, people just need to relax

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@LeanandCuisine I’m with you brother, on days like today it’s so good to be us

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@LeanandCuisine @JuiceHead33 It’ll be the same type of collaboration that they had with New Vegas. Bethesda will be more in the background but will have a say in the development direction

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@xfinafiregaming @JuiceHead33 Yep, but people will pretend they didn’t. So we can expect the same type of development collab with Obsidian’s Fallout

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.

@TKsMantis No thanks, give me a classic desert wasteland

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@BRSBenji @mattchewy28 @JackKennedy I could definitely see that, hopefully with more demand that this World Cup could bring, more “travel-ball” soccer organizations can spring up that offer competitive pricing and are bit more frugal/charitable. I think this all can get better with more demand for the sport

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@BRSBenji @mattchewy28 @JackKennedy Yes I agree, but unfortunately in the US, we don’t have enough professional clubs that set up a youth development infrastructure that is present in Europe and South America.

We have the MLS, who have made great strides, but only have 30 clubs that can develop kids for free.

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@mattchewy28 @JackKennedy Where in the country does it cost thousands to play in a kid’s rec league? Looking up costs in my small-town local area, it’s $100 at most for one year

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@mattchewy28 @JackKennedy Rec ball exists, I’m confused as to what exactly you’re getting at here

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@AlexiLalas So many people misunderstanding this issue is insane. The game is free and accessible, it’s professional level development that we can’t have because we don’t have the amount of pro clubs and demand for it that Europe does. It’s so simple

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@AlexanderLoucks @AlexiLalas Yeah, let’s just simply have 100s of pro soccer clubs that operate at a profit and can then invest in developing hand picked youth. Just simply do that

[Andrew @OG_andrew_]

@mattchewy28 @JackKennedy That’s the issue for every sport in this country. The NBA is seeing an unprecedented increase of European stars taking over the league. Why is that?

Again, it’s thousands of clubs that operate at a profit and can invest in hand-picked gifted youth. We have only 30 of these

[USMNT_STAN @StanUsmnt]

I’ve heard people say “well we don’t have an open system in basketball and we’re still best in the world.”

Guys, in a little over 30 years foreign players went from almost no nba players and getting ran off court with our best to:

-8 straight foreign MVPs
-since 2021 first team all nba has been 21/30 foreign spots
-college bball recruiting has shifted to be a race for the best 20 year old euro players

If you don’t think their approach to development on all fronts including club structure and professional league structure impacts this you’re crazy.
