Fallout 5 multiplayer: will it have it?Īlright, well, given Fallout 5 hasn’t actually been announced yet we can’t say with any certainty whether it will or will not be an Xbox exclusive. A new instalment is a great opportunity to give the franchise a fresh aesthetic.

Having a game set in Korea, China, Russia or elsewhere would provide an excellent outlet to change up how the entire map and locations look. There has never been a Fallout game set out of the United States, so could Fallout 5 be the one to buck the trend? Having a game set in the Windy City is only being speculated over because fans of Fallout: New Vegas remember that there is a hint towards an Enclave outpost in Chicago. This one is a bit more 'out there' in terms of its validity. We've already visited swampy areas in Fallout, but a game set entirely around the deep south would certainly be an interesting take. Ultimately, this listing hasn't resulted in anything more than four years later, but it could all be a clever bait and switch. Rumors that a new Fallout game would be set in New Orleans started after a trademark application for ' Fallout New Orleans' was spotted online in 2016. Here are the most rumored places we've heard chatter about so far: You don't have to look far to see fans discussing and fantasizing about where Fallout 5 will take place.


It would nice to see Fallout explore different parts of the world, but that might change the game up too much and alienate long-term fans who are particularly fond of the setting. Fallout 3, for example, was set in Washington while Fallout 4 took place in Boston. If you've ever played a Fallout game, you'll know how much it loves its doomsday nuclear-ravaged American setting.įallout games have all been set in a US state, so it would stand to reason this aspect wouldn't change.

Fallout 5 location and setting: where could it be set? At the very least, we'd expect Fallout 5 to be a title for Xbox Game Pass.Ĭonsidering console lifecycles usually last about seven years, it seems likely we would see Fallout 5 release on these systems before the next, next-generation systems are going to be introduced. It stands to reason that Microsoft and Bethesda would make this an exclusive title because of the former's purchase of the latter earlier this year, but Xbox has said exclusivity deals on new games from Bethesda will be decided on a case by case basis so it's hard to be certain. It's likely we'll see the next Fallout release for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Fallout 5 platforms: will it be an Xbox exclusive? Obviously, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is going to complicate matters in development, which could feasibly lead to multiple delays, even following an announcement of the game. It all really depends on how far along the Bethesda teams are with each game, but it would make sense that we would see Fallout 5 released sometime after these titles.
