GameSpot argues that the successful Fallout television series has attracted new fans at an awkward point for the games: the latest single-player entry, Fallout 4, is from 2015, while Fallout 76 is an online game that had a troubled launch. The position may improve, however, because Bethesda has announced several Fallout projects, potentially giving television viewers more accessible ways into the series.

Four games are said to be in development, including Fallout 5 in pre-production and remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, though no release dates were announced. A further new Fallout project is reportedly being developed with Obsidian, the studio behind New Vegas; the article notes that the older games and their lore are particularly relevant to fans of the TV adaptation.
