Thanks to the popularity of Fallout episodes, Fallout 76 and Fallout 4 saw a significant increase in Steam players, and after that, developers began to think about the future of the IP. According to Agency B, Fallout 5 will not be launched anytime soon because it takes time to make a great work.
When discussing Fallout 5, it was mentioned that it could be launched in 8 years, and some players wondered which part of it was taking up a lot of time.
The studio's design director also responded, saying that this is a complex issue, not specific to a specific game, and that the development time may vary for various reasons. While working on Starfield, they spent a lot of time updating and developing technology. There was also a pause for a period to assist in the development of Fallout 76.
"At the end of the day, the most important resource is people, and like any development team, we have talented people who need time to create something great. We can't do everything at the same time. Scientists at the institute are working hard to develop a cloning plan!"
