Good news for sure, 3 and NV remasters confirmed, confirmation that Obsidian is making a new Fallout which seems to be separate from the Bethesda made Fallout 5, which they will start full production on after TES 6 ship. Starfield not dead as well, which is cool as I think the franchise has potential, Bethesda's tech just wasn't there yet on the first game, but it reads like Creation Engine 3 should allow some of that stuff for Starfield 2, like space to planet flight.

That being said, I do hope Bethesda is making organizational changes behind the scenes as we speak. They simply cannot continue on as things have been, 3 franchises but only 1 game in full production at a time. In my opinion, Bethesda needs to split into 3 teams at once, each in charge of a franchise, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield, and those teams, supplemented by support studios, need to aim to release a Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or Starfield game every 2 years, each game getting 6 years of development. Todd Howard needs to promote and train up 3 replacement directors from within the studio, each in charge of a different franchise, and oversee their development from above. Todd is now within about 10 years of a typical retirement age, it's time he trains up his successors.

Given Todd's age and how long it takes them to make games Fallout 5 might be his last game. At least last game with him leading development.
