Fallout 5 and the importance of the US
When will Fallout 5 be released? As soon as possible, but Todd Howard doesn't want to go faster than the music. The main thing for him and his teams is to offer the best experience to the players. “We are also trying to find ways to increase our [cadence de] production, because we don't want to wait that long either, right? […] But the most important thing is knowing how to launch them with the best possible quality. It’s always the most important” said the Bethesda producer on the podcast microphone Kinda Funny.
During this same show, Todd Howard also made an important revelation for Fallout 5 regarding where the action will take place. He thus revealed that the game would still take place in the United States. “In my opinion, part of Fallout's identity is American naivety. For us, there is no harm in recognizing other territories, but our goal is to ensure that we remain primarily in the United States.”. In addition to maintaining an American setting for Fallout 5, and for potential sequels, in order to serve the satirical aspect of the license in particular, the producer wants to preserve the mystery around other countries. Something to reassure fans of the franchise.
“It’s okay to leave mysteries or questions unanswered. I think it's a good thing. I have been known to say that the worst thing you can do to mysterious lands is to remove the mystery. We must ensure that they remain mysterious” he added (via Gamesradar). The fans should be rather reassured and will certainly not contradict the man. Although some of them would not be against the idea of exploring “unknown” lands.
While waiting for Fallout 5, Bethesda has brought Fallout 4 back to the forefront with a new-gen update that does not keep all of its promises. On PC, it's even a big cold shower since the patch causes significant problems for mod users.
