Bethesda Game Studios development roadmap

Overview

Bethesda Game Studios has established a long-term development roadmap centered on its major upcoming titles. The studio is currently prioritizing The Elder Scrolls VI, with senior creative leader Todd Howard indicating that most staff are dedicated to the project. The game is intended to return to a classic open-world exploration style.

Following the completion of The Elder Scrolls VI, the studio plans to begin development on Fallout 5. Due to the scale and complexity of these AAA projects, industry estimates suggest The Elder Scrolls VI could launch as early as 2028, potentially pushing the release of Fallout 5 into the 2030s.

To bridge the gap between these major releases, Bethesda is working on several side projects. These include remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, as well as a new Fallout project being developed by Obsidian Entertainment.
