Bethesda roadmap: Fallout 5, remasters, Starfield

Entities: Fallout: New Vegas · Fallout series · Starfield · The Elder Scrolls VI · Griffin DeClaire

Overview

Bethesda’s July 2026 roadmap confirmed ongoing investment in its flagship RPGs. Starfield will receive regular story updates and a 2027 expansion, **Starborn**, while Fallout 76 is slated for a 2027 pre‑quel DLC, **Raven Rock**. Fallout 5 entered pre‑production on Creation Engine 3, and graphical remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout : New Vegas are being rebuilt with Unreal Engine 5. A co‑development partnership with Obsidian Entertainment on an untitled Fallout title was also announced.

In the weeks that followed, Bethesda reiterated these plans. On 17 July the studio restated the remaster and Fallout 5 pre‑production announcements, and on 19 July it reaffirmed the Starfield and Fallout 76 2027 expansions. The same day a design‑phase expansion for Fallout 76 and a 30‑year anniversary event in Washington were added to the roadmap.

Community engagement grew when director Todd Howard returned to Reddit on 20 July, inviting fan ideas and prompting a request for an Oblivion remaster. A journalist, Jeff Gerstmann, claimed to have seen playable footage of an unannounced Fallout 3 remake on 8 July, though Bethesda has not confirmed the project’s status.

Further confirmation arrived on 5 August, when Bethesda officially announced the Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters, citing the original games’ technical limits and promising visual upgrades. The overall narrative shows Bethesda, under Microsoft ownership, maintaining a multi‑year focus on Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Starfield while navigating studio restructuring and community expectations.
