Fallout 5 has reportedly been officially greenlit and development is moving forward, though who, exactly, is leading development on the new installment in the series is currently unknown.
The report comes from the latest episode of the Xbox Two Podcast, where Windows Central executive editor Jez Corden discussed how Xbox is handling Fallout as a franchise moving forward. However, he didn’t know what studio would be developing Fallout 5, as he believes Bethesda Game Studios’ core teams are currently busy working on additional Starfield DLC and The Elder Scrolls VI.
Corden said from what he has heard, part of the forward push for Fallout 5 and Fallout in general came at the expense of ZeniMax Online’s next MMO, codenamed Blackbird, which was canceled as part of Microsoft’s latest round of layoffs.
