Prime Video’sFalloutshowwas pretty surprising when it came out , both because it ended up beingreally beneficial , and because Bethesda did n’t clip out a game around its release . No remaster , no new statute title , not even so much as a teaser forFallout 5 — but in the eye of Xbox head Phil Spencer , that cease up work out for everyone involved .
During the late Paley International Council Summit , Spencer admitted what we ’ve known for a while : neither Xbox and Bethesda “ [ had ] a newFalloutgame lined up for the show ’s launching . ” That lack of readiness , he uphold , hand the show exemption that would n’t have been afford “ if we tried to coordinate production of two very different creative processes to land at the same time . ” Given how the last few age have been meet with layoffs across the games industry and labor strikes in Hollywood , and that Bethesda itself spent days largely occupied with developingStarfield , he ’s not haywire in say that form of synergy would ’ve been basically impossible . Plus , in his word : “ The play is much more foresightful terminus than attempt to force back some talent purchasing . ”
That ’s not to say theFalloutshow just came out and flourish in a vacuum : various incoming in the seriessurged in playersfollowing the show ’s liberation . Fallout 76,the last full-grown game in the serial , especially prospered , and Spencer noted both it and theFallout Sheltermobile title could service as suitable entry period into the games for anyone tempt by the show . Still , there ’s no denying that anyone seeking a young single - instrumentalist experience in the series will be waiting awhile : the last core first appearance wasFallout 4,which do out back in 2015 , and it ’s anyone ’s guess as to whenFallout 5will come out . The show ’s currently in production on season two , and it ’ll hopefully slay Prime Video in the cheeseparing - ish time to come . But as great as the serial is , it can only beso much of a substitutefor the real , solitary thing , especially with how long the gap between game sequel can get .
