Yet Bethesda boss Todd Howard believes the franchise is healthy and turns to the “sneaky popular” MMORPG Fallout 76 as a key indicator.
Howard also discussed how each game in the series is distinct and works as its own entry point to the series.
Howard was interviewed by Kinda Funny Games and was asked whether Bethesda wanted a new game in the series alongside the TV show, beyond the Fallout 4 new-gen patch.
Considering the huge success of the Fallout TV show, it may be surprising that Bethesda doesn’t have a new game to coincide with its release.
