That being said, if Fallout 76 is heading down the rumored online route, then franchise fans may be longing for a classic Fallout experience. Let's also not forget the previous failure of Fallout Online if 76 is planning to move into an MMO-esque territory. There may be talk of Fallout 5, but with Fallout 4 still offering plenty and focus undoubtedly shifting to Fallout 76, it looks a little early for another direct sequel.ĭon't get us wrong, the prospect of any Fallout game is enough to send anyone out into the wasteland and risk radiation poisoning. Admittedly, there were games like New Vegas and Brotherhood in between, but history suggests that another core Fallout game is still a ways off. There was a decade between Fallout 2 and Fallout 3, followed by another seven years until Fallout 4 released. Notably, Interplay's Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel claimed the title as the first console game in the series, but alongside not aging particularly well and receiving a mixed reception in 2004, it is hardly the beloved Fallout entry that New Vegas would become. Fallout spinoffs have been inconsistent over the course of the franchise's history, to say the least. The result was better than anyone could've expected and it seems odd that, after all these years, Bethesda hasn't tried to do it again.

When Bethesda was still over the moon from the success of Fallout 3, they decided to fast-track New Vegas through Obsidian Entertainment.
