- Setting and release date remain unconfirmed.

## Summary

Bethesda has confirmed that Fallout 5 is in pre-production, establishing that another mainline entry in its post-apocalyptic role-playing series is planned. The announcement matters because it ends uncertainty over the game’s status, but also confirms that players should not expect it soon: it will follow The Elder Scrolls 6, which has no release date.

Bethesda says both games are being developed with Creation Engine 3, a shared technology platform intended to let teams work on multiple projects at once. Fallout 5 had previously existed only as a 2021 concept outline; its setting, story and release window remain unknown, although Bethesda has said the series will largely remain set in the United States and coexist with events from the television adaptation.
