Fallout 4 Director Confirms Bethesda is Working on “Even More” for the Franchise

With Fallout Day 2025 having wrapped up, many fans of the franchise found themselves disappointed that Bethesda hasn’t yet announced any new game in the franchise. However, as caught by IGN, Bethesda design chief Todd Howard acknowledged that, while no major new announcements were made, the company is certainly working on “even more” for the Fallout franchise.

In a message that had been pre-recorded, Howard acknowledged that the company is currently working on something for the Fallout universe. However, he also noted that more details about it will only be revealed once Bethesda is ready to do so.

“Even though I am recording this — it’s not live — and I’m probably watching myself right now from my desk and I’m reading your chat and these… that thing you want and this other thing you want… Hey, we read it all. Just know we are working on even more. We are looking forward to the day when we can share that with everybody,” said Howard in his message.

Fallout Day 2025 was live streamed this week, and it featured a couple of key announcements by Bethesda. Among these was the fact that Fallout 76 will finally be getting upgrades that make use of the more powerful hardware available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Along with this, the company also confirmed that the title will be getting its free Burning Springs update – which adds a host of new content to the game alongside an entirely new area to explore – on December 2.

The Burning Springs update for Fallout 76 will also bring with it the debut of Amazon Prime Fallout’s character The Ghoul, who will offer players new missions for the bounty hunting activity, which in turn can be taken up either solo or as a group. The update will also bring with it an entirely new set of story missions, as well as an arena where players can take on different kinds of enemies for the amusement of the Rust King.

The event also saw the announcement of Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2. While most of the platforms will be getting it on November 10, the Switch 2 release is slated to happen some time in 2026.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition will include the base game, along with all of the expansions and DLC that have been released for it so far. Along with this, it will also include more than 150 Creations that have been made by other players of the game. These can range from minor things, like changing the breed of companion Dogmeat, to more gameplay-oriented Creations, like tweaks to the core gameplay and even entirely new quests.

Rumours from earlier this year have indicated that Bethesda is working on a host of different Fallout projects that haven’t yet been announced. However, the report from July has indicated that none of these projects had been far along enough in development to be playable anytime soon. Another rumour has indicated that one of these projects might be Fallout 5.
