Fallout 5<\/a> will indeed take into account the canon events of the Fallout TV series<\/a>, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard has confirmed.<\/p>\n

While Fallout 5 is years away (Bethesda is still working on The Elder Scrolls 6<\/a>, which doesn\u2019t have a release window), Howard said that what we see in the Fallout series will impact the game.<\/p>\n

“In short, yes,” Howard told BBC Newsbeat<\/a>. “Fallout 5 will be existing in a world where the stories and events of the show happened or are happening. We are taking that into account.”<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The Fallout TV show, which is set after all the existing Fallout video games, has sparked much debate within the fandom. Questions on how it fits into the overarching Fallout timeline and whether it makes particular video game endings canon have dominated discussion in the run up to each season\u2019s release. Indeed, Fallout Season 2 had left fans wondering about the fate of New Vegas following the events of the video game, although the show\u2019s creators have avoided making a clear call<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What Howard is confirming here is that TV show characters such as Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul and the events of the show must now be factored into Fallout 5, although we don\u2019t know when or where the game will be set. Could either actually appear in Fallout 5? It sounds like it\u2019s possible, but we\u2019ll have to see what happens in the show itself.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth remembering that we\u2019re guaranteed Fallout Season 3, and the hope is there will be more seasons after that. There\u2019s a long way to go before the show wraps up, and there\u2019s a long way to go before Fallout 5 comes out. In the meantime, could Bethesda follow The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered and release a remaster of Fallout 3 or New Vegas, or perhaps even a Fallout: New Vegas 2 as a stop gap? In a recent interview with IGN, Howard remained coy on the possibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n
