The Fallout franchise has remained a major pillar of Bethesda’s legacy, even as years have passed since the last mainline entry. With renewed interest in the series and shifting long-term plans at Xbox, fresh discussion has begun around where the post-apocalyptic RPG universe could be headed next.
According to a new report from Windows Central, major plans are moving forward for the Fallout franchise, with Fallout 5 and Fallout remakes reportedly receiving internal approval.
The report suggests that multiple projects tied to the series have been greenlit, signaling a long-term commitment to expanding Fallout’s future under Xbox, even as Bethesda Game Studios remains focused on other priorities.
Importance: The reported approval of Fallout 5 and Fallout remakes signals a major push to keep the franchise active while long-term development continues, reinforcing Fallout’s value within Xbox’s future RPG strategy.

Future of Fallout Remains Long-Term
In a wide-ranging breakdown of Xbox’s roadmap beyond 2026, Windows Central’s Jez Corden claims that Fallout 5 and Fallout remakes are now officially approved, though timelines remain distant.
Fallout 5 is understood to be acknowledged internally but unlikely to be released anytime soon due to Bethesda’s ongoing work on The Elder Scrolls VI.
Fallout 5 Still Years Away
Meanwhile, long-rumored remakes of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are said to be actively in development, with the information corroborated by leaker Nate The Hate.
This renewed push reportedly follows the success of recent Bethesda releases and modern remakes, positioning classic Fallout titles to return while the next mainline entry remains years away.
