The Fallout 5 release date is almost certainly very, very far away.
It doesn't sound like the success of the new Amazon Prime Fallout TV show is going to make Fallout 5 release any sooner. We know the current, primary focus of Bethesda Game Studios now that it has released Starfield is The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard recently reaffirmed this in a new interview.
Specifically, Howard was asked by IGN if interest in the show has changed any plans to move Fallout 5 forward in the pipeline, as it right now seems to be very far off as it won't begin production until The Elder Scrolls 6 releases, which is still years away itself. Howard tiptoes around the question a little bit, but what he does say doesn't indicate any major movement on the Fallout 5 plans.
"I'm going to avoid putting dates on anything. I've learned that the hard way," said Howard speaking about Fallout 5 plans."So obviously, our focus as far as new development right now is Elder Scrolls VI, but that doesn't mean that we're not making plans for other things.
The tease of,"but that doesn't mean that we're not making plans for other things," is a potentially tasty tease for Fallout fans, but as you can see that seems to be in reference to everything Howard then lists after, which includes Fallout 76 and Starfield content. Of course, soon the Fallout resurgence will die down as the show's pop fades, but it would be a good to have a Fallout pop. Unfortunately for Bethesda, it is unlikely Fallout 5 will be ready by the time the show's second season releases, or the third if there ends up being one.
