Bethesda Game Studios Executive Producer and Director Todd Howard in an interview with Kinda Funny Games might have teased a new Fallout project that is in the works that he is not allowed to discuss yet.

"We look at what we are doing with the [Fallout] franchise and then we say do we still feel good about - I can't reveal it now - but here is our runway for Fallout as a franchise,"

said Howard.

What are we doing on mobile. What are we doing in [Fallout 76]. What are we doing with this thing. What are we doing with this other thing. And when are these landing. And again if I could snap my fingers and have them all be out and ready I would. But the main thing is how do we deliver these at a high quality level. That is always most important."

You’d think this was written and spoken by Trump.

“Games. Big games. HYUGE games. We’ve got them. They have to be high quality. These games.”

 

[Mister Wolf]

New Vegas needs a Remake.

Look at all these games, I said.

"Todd Howard Teases"

 

[Ownage]

Fallout Shelter 2024

Oh boy, an excuse to post the classic:

First official hints at the FO3 Remake/ster

 

[Warablo]

Please don't be Vault Dwellers 2 or w/e their mobile app was.

 

[Buggy Loop]

From leaked docs about Bethesda's plans, Fallout 3 remaster is likely.

 

[Raven117]

Oh boy, an excuse to post the classic:

I will never not find this funny. Every time. Dunking on Todd Howard is just a joy.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Oh boy, an excuse to post the classic:

One of the finest videos on youtube.

Omg. That really made me laugh. Fantastical!

 

[TwiztidElf]

FFS. Just get on with ruining ES6.

 

[Embearded]

Oh boy, an excuse to post the classic:

I come back to this video every now and then.

Even though we're past that now, I still get a bit worried when I see the word "mobile" in threads for known IPs. Don't even mention it, Toddward.

F3 Remaster could be interesting, because I don't know how that would go. The modding scene was a lot less mature* than it is now, and so was the engine, so if they port the game to the most recent engine version you'd need to see a brand new mod scene. It would be a good opportunity to start fresh.

*In terms of capabilities and design philosophies. The early FO4 modding compared to now is quite different, and I would not recommend those early mods. For a more extreme example look at what's now possible in Skyrim. DLL mods have made the impossible possible.

 

[Mephisto40]

It's going to be some shit like Fallout Shelter 2

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Why would you give any fuc*s about Todd and Bethesda at this point.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

They have nothing to show. Typical Bethesda.

 

[FunkMiller]

Oh, get fucked Todd. Starfield was a boring mess, and you’re too scared/egotistical to let somebody else make a decent Fallout game.

 

[Dazraell]

As others have said, it's most likely Fallout 3 remaster which was mentioned alongside Oblivion remaster in court documents accidentally leaked by Microsoft

 

[Ribi]

Because it's probably 20 years in the making

[ahtlas7]

Oh the anticipation!

 

[Cyberpunkd]

But the main thing is how do we deliver these at a high quality level. That is always most important.

That's easy, just give the project to someone else.

 

[SJRB]

Please stop taking this guy so serious, he's an absolute goofball just winging it and by some miracle actually getting away with it for the most part.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Used to be excited when Todd said something. Dude's lost all credibility.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Was Todd reading this of a bunch of quick scribbles on a bar napkin by any chance?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Hey, Todd....

 

[Kupfer]

"Oh we're getting pressure from Microsoft because Fallout is going through the roof and the momentum should be used to announce a new game.
But we don't actually have anything yet because we, as a company, are now incapable of functioning, but sending out cryptic messages to warm up the hypetrain always works."

[Impotaku]

Guessing a hastily slapped together mobile game to take advantage of the hype.

Will be guaranteed broken and riddled with mtx on release. That’s the Howard guarantee.

 

[Sintoid]

Something more rushed than usual

First official hints at the FO3 Remake/ster

I would seriously hope that it’s this, otherwise they would be wasting the ESO team’s time and talent to make a game that would directly compete with Fallout 76.

I can’t think of any other Zenimax team that is working on a new unannounced project that would be within orbit of Fallout or ES franchises.

 

[BaldingAshCrimson]

New Vegas needs a Remake.

Be careful what you wish for, m8...

 

[Flabagast]

What a master bullshiter

 

[Hudo]

Yeah, you fucked up your production pipeline Todd, we know. Can't wait for Fallout 5 being a pure FPS in 2040, while Obsidian and inXile fuck around with god knows what, instead of making Fallout for you.

According to past rumors Oblivion remaster is developed by Virtuos. Assuming this rumor is true, it's quite possible F3 remaster is also handled by them considering both games shares the same engine

 

[Gojiira]

‘High Quality’ Fuck off Todd…F3 is a rose tinted glasses protected meh rpg, Fallout 4 is a outright godawful rpg, and 76 is just bad…So so bad…Wheres the goddamn quality?

 

[Stafford]

Officially the remaster/remake of Fallout 3 hasn't been confirmed, right? That it?

That being said, in those quotes I don't see much of a tease for a new project?

 

[Randall365]

Good for him - not many people would have the courage to delay announcing a new game when the IP is booming due to a TV show, until nobody gives a shit anymore.
