Amazon has breathed new life into the Fallout universe. The new series on Prime Video delights new and old fans. Bethesda is now making it clear that the series' gaming roots have not been forgotten. Supplies for role-playing fans are probably already on the way.
Bethesda is working on more Fallout
Amazon has done it: The new Fallout series delights critics and fans. A second season is already on the way. At the same time she also enjoys role playing helped to gain new popularity. Player numbers went through the roof after the release on Prime Video. Bethesda now wants to continue building on this success.

Todd Howard now talks about them in an interview with Kinda Funny Games Future of the franchise. The Bethesda boss is secretive and doesn't directly announce a new game. But he at least gives the waiting players a hint:
We're looking at what we're doing with the franchise and whether we still feel good about it – I can't reveal it now – but here's our outlook for the future. When does season 2 come out? What do we do on mobile devices? What do we do in (Fallout) 76? What do we do with this thing? What do we do with this other thing? And when do they appear?
Howard goes on to say that he would like to release all of these projects immediately if he could. The most important goal, however, is one high quality product to deliver. Hopefully better than the bug-plagued next-gen patch for Fallout 4.

Are two new Fallout games in the works?
Todd Howard's statement should probably not be taken directly as an announcement. The reference to release periods still makes it clear that the Bethesda boss is not just talking like that, but rather has actual projects in mind (This becomes even clearer in the video). However, these may not be completely new role-playing games, but rather remakes, remasters or mobile games.
However, it is almost certain that after Amazon's success now more fallout is being considered. Howard's words match the information of an Xbox insider, according to whom Microsoft definitely wants to bring a new game onto the market – even if it is not developed directly by Bethesda.
