Fallout 76 isn’t Holding Back Development on Fallout 5, Says Creative Director

"I can understand that perspective, watching from the outside in, but no. Absolutely not," said Bethesda Game Studios' Jon Rush.

Following the success of Amazon’s Fallout TV show, there’s been a surge of enthusiasm for the video games. While Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and other titles thrived, the demand for a new mainline game was palpable. Bethesda’s Todd Howard understood this desire but also said a sequel doesn’t need to be rushed.

As for concerns over Fallout 76 potentially affecting the development of a potential Fallout 5, creative director Jon Rush told TheGamer this wasn’t the case. “Absolutely not. I can understand that perspective, watching from the outside in, but no. Absolutely not. If anything, when Fallout 5 does come out, it’ll make it even more impactful. But [Fallout 76] isn’t holding anything back.”

Fallout 76 is gearing up for Season 18, Milepost Zero – Country Road, which launches on September 3rd. Alongside new Seasons rewards, it rebalances fire and poison damage for combat, revamped Legendary crafting, and adds a new Best Builds mechanic for CAMPS.

Meanwhile, Fallout: London, a massive expansion-sized mod for Fallout 4, finally launched last month and became the fastest-redeemed title on GOG. While its set-up process takes some work, the experience is certainly worthwhile. Check out our review here.
