Rumored Approval of Fallout 5 Could Spell Trouble for Starfield

Sure, here we go.

OMG, guess what? Fallout 5 might actually be happening! I mean, according to this dude, Jez Cordon, from Windows Central, Zenimax has given a thumbs-up to start working on Fallout 5. Crazy, right? But, it might mean they’re shelving some other game, Project Blackbird—whatever that is. Bet the Bethesda fans are gonna go wild over this.

So get this, Fallout hasn’t had a new single-player game in ages, like almost a decade. Everyone kinda figured Bethesda would circle back to Fallout at some point—duh, it’s Fallout we’re talking about. But what’s wild is the timing. Like, Starfield just barely dropped. Has it been two years? Folks thought Starfield was gonna be Bethesda’s main squeeze for a while, but maybe not? Who knows, maybe Fallout 5 will swoop in and steal the spotlight.

I gotta admit, Starfield hasn’t blown anyone’s socks off, not like Skyrim did back in the day. Remember that? Game-changing stuff. But yeah, there’s still a sliver of hope they might jazz things up with some new content or DLC. But honestly, not holding my breath. That Shattered Space DLC? Kinda fell flat, didn’t it? People were all hyped because of some early patch—I think it was REV-8 or something—but then, nothing. Radio silence from Bethesda. It’s like they just ghosted us.

Oh, and remember last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase? Everyone thought we’d get a peek at what’s next for Starfield. But nope, nada. Anyway, yeah, it’s not just that Fallout 5 is possibly on the table. It’s coming after Bethesda kinda stumbled with Starfield. Makes sense they’d shift focus.

Fallout’s still alive and kicking, though—seriously, Fallout 76 is still around, and there’s that TV show too. Seems like the glory days are back, unlike Starfield, which is kinda, well… icing over if you ask me. Fallout 5? That seems like a no-brainer win for Zenimax and Microsoft. After Starfield’s lukewarm reception, going back to familiar ground might be just what Bethesda needs.

So yeah, that’s the scoop. What do you think? Is Fallout 5 gonna shake things up or what?
