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. Thereβs 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 itβs been a very long wait for the sequel.
The next chapter is on the way. Weβre 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 couldnβt be more excited for whatβs ahead and wanted to share as much as we could today. We canβt thank you enough for all youβve given to us and these worlds. And we canβt wait to continue them together.
βBethesda Game Studios
@KozmicPlays Iβm not sure I quite like it. The new gameplay loop is now auto chaos with focus on persona cards, gear and engravings -> play sortie to farm mats to edit save data which is imo worse than before :(
Gaza is rubble.
Syria is a war zone.
Libya is a failed state.
Iraq is in tatters.
Iran is being bombed.
Australians are being jailed.
Brits are being jailed.
Americans are being censored, debanked, and deplatformed.
This is how Jews coexist with the people around them.
Israel did it in 1948
Israel did it in 1956
Israel did it in 1967
Israel did it in 1982
Israel did it in 2002
Israel did it in 2008
Israel did it in 2014
Israel did it in 2021
Israel is currently doing it in 2023-26
78 years of genocide, but Israel is the victim!
When Jews were attacked in Sydney during their festival, the world stood by them and condemned the terrorists.
Now when the Jews have attacked a Muslim nation during the holy month of Ramadan, the world is either silent or actively aiding the Jewish terrorists.
Hypocrisy!
The first thing the genocidal, pedophile maniacs bombed was a pure military target
Just kidding. They bombed a girls school killing 30 little girls they pretended to be coming to βliberateβ

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
@vonderleyen Which developments? The US/Israel aggression? The massacres of dozens of civilians? The risk of Iran retaliating?
Invoking nuclear safety while endorsing policies that endanger millions is not leadership: it's escalation. May EU citizens see what is being signed off in their name
Three missiles exploded and shook my building this morning. The people who are telling you this war is necessary are lying. They are putting the lives of tens of millions of people across the Middle East at risk for completely dubious reasons.
There is absolutely no justification for attacking Iran.
The only country we should be attacking is Israel.
Our country is controlled by jewish pedophiles and this war is to distract from the Epstein coverup.
Hereβs the funny part, J.K.:
Western celebrities always discover their βprinciplesβ when itβs safely about Iran, China, or some distant villain that flatters their moral vanity.
But when one of your own governments shoots an unarmed mother in her car, or storms homes like secret police, suddenly human rights becomeβ¦ negotiable. Convenient, isnβt it?
You lecture others about βsolidarity,β yet you cheer anything that reinforces your own geopolitical fantasies, even a random woman performing βIranian resistanceβ cosplay in Canada whose ethnicity no one could verify.
This isnβt moral courage, itβs selective outrage sold as virtue.
Save the speeches.
People outside your bubble stopped buying them a long time ago.
