Phil waiting for Todd to make a new Fallout

They really need to do something here. Phil said TES 6 is 2028 at the earliest in court as I recall, so we're probably looking at like 2035 at the earliest for Fallout 5 as things stand. They have the remaster of Fallout 3 coming if last year's leak was to be believed, so that is something at least, but they really need to get a new game out sooner than 2035.

Way I see it is they have a 2 main options:

1. Let Obsidian make a new Fallout once Avowed is released, with the Outer Worlds 2 team moving to assist as well once Outer Worlds 2 has released. Josh Sawyer can direct if he is interested (might not be as he seems burnt out on AAA), if he isn't one of their other directors could do it. Obsidian would probably be able to get a Fallout game out by around 2029 of they start as soon as Avowed is released.

2. Bethesda can expand into at least 2 main teams, something they really need to do since they have 3 core IP now. With expansion simultaneous development on TES 6 and Fallout 5 can happen, and then simultaneous development on Fallout 5 and Starfield 2 after TES 6 releases. If they start this expansion immediately, they can probably reach two fully staffed main development teams within about 1-1.5 years, and have Fallout 5 released by around 2031 probably.
