Bethesda Reveals Fallout 3 Remaster and Fallout 5 Roadmap

Bethesda is planning a packed lineup that includes Fallout remasters, fresh Starfield content, a new Fallout project, and continued development of The Elder Scrolls VI.

Bethesda may have just given fans a reason to start looking forward to the next few years. According to the sources, the studio has outlined its long-term plans, and they cover nearly every major franchise it owns. From new Starfield content to multiple Fallout projects and steady progress on The Elder Scrolls VI, it looks like Bethesda has no shortage of games in the pipeline.

Starfield is one of the biggest surprises. While the game received a mixed reception after launch, Bethesda reportedly isn't ready to move on from it. According to the sources, new content is already planned for next year. That suggests the company still believes the sci-fi RPG has room to grow, much like many of its previous games that continued attracting players long after release.

The Elder Scrolls VI is still the studio's biggest priority. Sources say the highly anticipated RPG is in full production and is the main focus at Bethesda. There’s still no official date, but the prevailing theory is a release somewhere around 2028. Fans hope the game will be shown again sometime soon after years of silence since its original teaser.

The Fallout series is also getting a major boost.

According to the sources, Fallout 5 has entered pre-production. The game is still a long way from release, as Bethesda plans to finish The Elder Scrolls VI first, but development has officially begun. While that likely means Fallout 5 won't arrive until the next decade, it confirms that the next chapter of the franchise is finally moving forward.

In the meantime, Fallout fans may not have to wait empty-handed. According to the sources, Fallout 3 Remastered and Fallout: New Vegas Remastered are both in development. These remakes or remasters have been rumored for quite some time, and the latest information suggests they're real.

Fallout 3 introduced many players to the series, while New Vegas remains one of the most beloved RPGs ever made. Bringing both games back with modern improvements could be exactly what longtime fans have been asking for.

And that's not all. Obsidian Entertainment is also working on a completely new Fallout game that is separate from Fallout 5. Very little is known about the project, but it hints that Bethesda and Microsoft want the Fallout series to have a much more consistent release schedule instead of making players wait many years between games.

The Fallout universe is expanding beyond games as well.

Fallout 76 is expected to receive its Raven Rock expansion, while production on Season 3 of the Fallout TV series is already underway. Bethesda is also cooking up a little something for Fallout Day 2027 for the franchise’s 30th anniversary. Could that celebration include the long-awaited reveal of Fallout 3 Remastered? It's certainly a possibility.

Another fascinating fact is that Bethesda is working on Creation Engine 3. The sources said the next edition of the studio’s game engine is already being worked on and would be used for future projects. While no details have been provided, the enhanced tech should help define Bethesda’s next generation of open-world RPGs.

The overall roadmap gives an exciting picture. Starfield is continuing to receive support, The Elder Scrolls VI is making progress, Fallout is growing with several projects at once, and Bethesda is already preparing for the future with a brand-new game engine. If these plans stay on track, the next several years could be packed with releases for RPG fans. The only question now is, which one will Bethesda reveal first?
