During the interview, Howard also seemed to suggest that Bethesda had two unannounced Fallout projects in the works.
As you might imagine, Bethesda Game Studios is as keenly aware of those long gaps as fans of those franchises are, and during a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games, Todd Howard said the studio is looking into ways to be able to release games at a faster pace.
Interestingly, recent reports have also claimed that Microsoft is looking into ways to fast-track the process of getting the next Fallout game out the door as much as possible.
For instance, The Elder Scrolls 6 only entered full production last year, with Skyrim approaching its 13th anniversary.
