Fallout has seen a renewed spike in popularity following the release of Amazon’s TV adaptation. However, despite this, Bethesda doesn’t feel under pressure to rush a new game out to placate fans.
Speaking with YouTuber MrMattyPlays, Todd Howard acknowledged that the Fallout series is probably at its most popular, with the franchise boasting some record player numbers over recent months. Howard went on to state the studio gives “a lot of thought to franchise management” when questioned specifically about the future of Fallout as a whole.
“I spend a lot of time thinking about franchises I love… so, for us, it is sort of game planning out – number one, making sure Fallout is relevant in the world, and well, I think, clearly it is,” the studio exec said.
