As desperate fans lament Fallout 5’s no-show during the Fallout Day broadcast, Todd Howard himself promises Bethesda is “working on even more”

You might have surmised that we wouldn’t witness Fallout 5 at today’s Fallout Day broadcast, yet some devotees delight in setting themselves up for letdowns. Todd Howard himself was present to help wipe the tears of increasingly anxious RPG fans, providing a glimmer of hope towards the conclusion of the event.

“Although I’m recording this – it isn’t live, and I’m probably watching myself right now from my desk – I’m examining your conversation and that thing you desire and this different thing you seek,” Howard states (via IGN), gesturing at a chat off the side of the screen that presumably clamors for Fallout 5 and perhaps, Fallout Shelter 2: Electric Boogaloo.

A new Fallout title appeared almost certain a few years back, and that was prior to the Fallout TV series attracting a whole fresh array of fans. Howard has somewhat publicly hinted that Bethesda has designs for the upcoming Fallout title, yet those hints have been quite ambiguous. The one certainty is that a possible Fallout 5 won’t debut until well after The Elder Scrolls 6, which itself is likely still several years in the future.

At least we received some tangible updates during Fallout Day, with Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition and a New Vegas collectors bundle on the horizon. While those aren’t fresh titles, they do offer polished versions of prior games.

Here are the forthcoming Bethesda titles you ought to be aware of.
