Speaking to Mashable in 2015, series director Todd Howard said: “Believe it or not, every time we do a game we design a multiplayer mode just to see what we could do.” Fallout was a purely single-player series before the release of Fallout 76, and that didn’t exactly go down well with fans, so expect Fallout 5 to feature a lot more single-player content than 76 when it does eventually release.įallout 76 also disappointed from a technical standpoint, clearly using a heavily modded version of the Creation engine. We’ve compiled all the Fallout 5 information that’s currently out there below, along with our Fallout 5 wishlist.įallout 5 news is thin on the ground, but we do know that Bethesda thinks carefully about adding multiplayer to each of its major releases. So, for the moment, we’ll have to be satisfied with rumours and hearsay: there is little in terms of Fallout 5 news. Numbered releases in the Fallout series can be half a decade apart, so we could be waiting a long time before we can pick at the remains of a new Fallout location. Naturally then, we’re already itching to play Fallout 5 – unless that’s that pesky Radroach bite.

It has been a while since we witnessed the bombs drop and enjoyed our single-player sojourn through Fallout 4’s Boston, and it’s fair to say that few were left satisfied by Bethesda’s foray into multiplayer with Fallout 76, which was devoid of human NPCs, traditional questing, and basically all the things we’ve come to love about the series. Bethesda are still supporting their online offering, but its lukewarm reception could well mean we don’t see a Fallout 5 release date for a long time. When is Fallout 5 coming out? Following the reveal and subsequent release of the multiplayer spin-off Fallout 76, news and rumours about a proper Fallout 5 have been scarce.
