## Key points

- Bethesda confirms Fallout 5 is in pre-production
- Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters also confirmed, no release date
- Fallout 76 prequel expansion "Raven Rock" planned for 2027

## Summary

Bethesda has confirmed it is developing several new Fallout projects, including remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, alongside Fallout 5, which remains in early pre-production. The announcement, part of a wider roadmap for the studio's future released in July, signals a renewed investment in the franchise after years without a major new mainline release, and follows growing pressure from Xbox for more Fallout content.

Alongside the remasters and Fallout 5, Bethesda confirmed a major Fallout 76 expansion called Raven Rock, due in 2027, which will act as a prequel to Fallout 3. No release dates or further details were given for the remasters, though rumours of a Fallout 3 remaster date back to at least 2020, having surfaced via court documents from the FTC's litigation over Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition. Bethesda also said it will skip its usual Fallout Day broadcast in 2026, instead planning a live event in Washington, D.C. for the franchise's 30th anniversary in 2027. The moves follow last year's Oblivion Remastered and 2025's Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, continuing Bethesda's pattern of revisiting classic titles.
