Fallout New Vegas 2 Rumored To Be In The Works Could Release Later This Decade

Fervor for future projects from Bethesda Softworks – the publisher behind series like

Fallout

Elder Scrolls

, and

Wolfenstein

– has increased dramatically since Microsoft announced its plans to

acquire

its parent company, Zenimax Media.

Last week, Bethesda announced that Machine Games, the studio behind the

Wolfenstein

series,

will develop an original Indiana Jones game with Lucasfilm Games

More speculation on future Bethesda titles has arisen, with rumors that a sequel to a beloved

Fallout

game may be in the works.

A Bethesda insider claims to know information on planned Bethesda games, including the existence of a potential sequel to

Fallout: New Vegas

In a recent

, Tyler McVicker, formerly of Valve News Network, noted his expectations for Bethesda Game Studio’s upcoming releases over the course of the decade.

The tweet reads:

“I expect [Fallout: New Vegas 2] in the latter half of this decade. I expect [The Elder Scrolls 6] in 2026-7. I expect anything close to a Fallout 5 in the 2030s. Starfield is next, and even that needs another year or two.”

I expect FNV2 in the latter half of this decade. I expect TES6 in 2026-7. I expect anything close to a Fallout 5 in the 2030s.

Starfield is next, and even that needs another year or two.

McVicker also claims to have more information on other Bethesda projects in this

Neither

Fallout: New Vegas 2

nor

Fallout 5

have been confirmed, and the release window for the next Elder Scrolls game has not been announced by Bethesda.

As of now, this information remains highly speculative. McVicker has established himself as somewhat of a trusted leaker in the past, most notably

revealing

information on

Half-Life: Alyx

before it was officially announced.

WHAT THIS MEANS

Though this is largely speculation, a sequel to

Fallout: New Vegas

has become more likely since Microsoft’s

purchase

of Zenimax Media. The developer of

Fallout: New Vegas

, Obsidian Entertainment, is owned by Bethesda, who cheekily

replied

on Twitter with a shrug emoji when a fan asked if a sequel was possible.

As for the potential release window for the rumored

New Vegas

sequel, sometime later this decade seems possible. Obsidian is working on the high fantasy game

Avowed

, which has no firm release date yet. If that game is a few years away, then full development on a potential

New Vegas

sequel probably won’t start until that game is close to being finished.

Aside from Obsidian’s busy development schedule, it’s possible that Bethesda might want to hold off on releasing a

Fallout

game for a few years. The launch of

Fallout 76

was problematic, and although the game rebounded somewhat, it tainted the franchise for some fans. The sequel to the beloved

Fallout: New Vegas

could be a sign of Bethesda wanting to right its previous wrongs.
