The conversation then shifts to an interview with the CEO of Larian Studios, discussing their interest in working on various franchises before settling on Baldur’s Gate 3. The speaker clarifies that while there have been headlines about Larian wanting to work on Fallout, the CEO’s past interest doesn’t imply current plans. Larian is currently focused on other projects and isn’t developing any more Baldur’s Gate content. Speculation exists that one project might be Divinity: Original Sin 3, and there’s some fan hope for a new Fallout game. However, Larian’s independent status and a previous scheduling conflict with Starfield suggest they may not pursue Fallout at all.

In this segment, the discussion focuses on the possibility of Obsidian Entertainment developing a new Fallout game. Despite fans’ hopes and Obsidian’s interest in working on Fallout, logistical and strategic challenges render this unlikely. Microsoft wants a new Fallout game soon but Obsidian’s current project, Avowed, complicates timing. Internal discussions about Obsidian working on Fallout New Vegas 2 revealed that both Obsidian and Bethesda had reservations, with Obsidian concerned about the scale. Moreover, other Microsoft studios are hesitant to take on Fallout because it would limit their creative freedom. As of now, no new Fallout game is in development within Microsoft’s studios, indicating a significant issue for the franchise’s future.

In this part of the video, it is discussed that Microsoft is eager to release a new Fallout game soon but faces challenges in finding a suitable developer outside of Bethesda Game Studios. Bethesda is currently focused on The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield. Despite this, Fallout 76 is experiencing significant growth, with major content updates planned for 2024 and involvement from multiple studios, including Bethesda Austin and Double 11. The Fallout TV show has boosted the game’s player count, leading to sustained interest.
Additionally, a Fallout 3 remaster is hinted to be in development by an external studio, similar to the Oblivion remaster. While Fallout 5 is anticipated, it may not follow immediately after The Elder Scrolls 6 according to Tod Howard’s previous comments. There is pressure from Microsoft for quicker developments in the Fallout series.
Recent leaks suggest that work on The Elder Scrolls 6 is intensifying, with signs pointing to a setting in Hammerfell. This is inferred from the thematic shift in a Bethesda employee’s Pinterest posts. The Elder Scrolls 6 is speculated to release around 2026, potentially aligning with the next console generation and serving as a launch title.

Additionally, the modding situation on consoles remains problematic, with many players experiencing a degraded gameplay experience. The speaker also provides updates on the Fallout TV show, which recently received 17 Emmy nominations. Season 2 is confirmed not to be an anthology but a continuation of the same cast and story from Season 1. Filming for Season 2 is progressing quickly, with scripts already in hand, thanks to the success of Season 1 and pre-existing ideas and sets that can be reused.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the potential timeline for the filming and release of Season 2 of “Fallout,” suggesting it could start filming in late 2024 or early 2025 with a release in 2025. The focus of Season 2 appears to be on New Vegas and the New California Republic (NCR) lore, which is delicate and complex. The speaker expresses concern that the rush to release Season 2 as quickly as possible might lead to mistakes and controversies, possibly even more than were present in Season 1.
