As Bethesda gears up for its first-ever “Fallout Day Broadcast” on October 23, there is reason for fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG series to be giddy with excitement. While the focus seems to be onFallout 76, the online multiplayer entry in the franchise, some can’t help but wonder if there might be a surprise in store.
Could it be that the mastermind behind the series, Todd Howard, is secretly working on the highly anticipatedFallout 5? Let’s dive into the speculation and see what clues we can uncover.
Vault-Tec Calling: The Fans’ Plea forFallout 5
Bethesda‘s recent tweet announcing the Fallout Day Broadcast has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom are eager for news about a potentialFallout 5:
Fallout Day is coming on October 23 where we will be hosting our first ever#FalloutDayBroadcast. Join Jon Rush and Bill LaCoste as they give you a glimpse at what we’ve been working on in Fallout 76.The party keeps going from there with our friends@FalloutforHopefor their…pic.twitter.com/cLfkUGvlt8
While some fans are excited aboutthe prospect of new content forFallout 76, others are using this opportunity to voice their desire for a return to the series’ single-player roots:
I love Fallout, but I do not care about an MMO. Please start work on Fallout 5 instead. A single player Fallout game appeals to a much broader audience.
The sentiment is echoed by many, with some fans even going as far as to suggest that Bethesda should allocate more resources to the development ofFallout 5:
We really don’t really care about 76, guys. Get some more devs and get to work on FO5 so we don’t have to wait until PS8🙏
It’s clear that whileFallout 76has its dedicated playerbase, there’s a significant portion of the fanbase that’s eager for a new single-player installment in the series. And withElder Scrolls 6still a ways off, couldFallout 5be the perfect project for Todd Howard and his team to tackle next?
A Potential Todd Howard Mic Drop Moment?
Picture this: the Fallout Day Broadcast is in full swing, with Jon Rush and Bill LaCoste discussingthe latest updates and content forFallout 76. Fans are enjoying the festivities, but there’s a palpable sense of anticipation in the air.
Suddenly, the screen fades to black. A familiar voice comes on, and the camera pans to reveal none other thanTodd Howardhimself. He’s got that signature twinkle in his eye, and he’s about to drop a bombshell:
I’m sure you’re all enjoying the Fallout Day Broadcast, but I have one more thing to share with you. We’ve been working on something special, something that we know you’ve all been waiting for.
That’s right, Fallout 5 is in development, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon!
The internet would explode with excitement, and fans would be left speculating about what the future holds for theFalloutseries. Would we be returning to the Capital Wasteland, or perhapsexploring a brand-new location? What new features and gameplay mechanics could we expect?
