Nah they would not. Definitely not after seeing gamepass’s growth rate. It’s literally growing faster than Netflix did by a long shot.

Im sure come shareholder meetings nobody is directly asking why X IP doesnt have a game.

[Hindle]

The aim is to grow subs for XGP, and for that MS need thier biggest franchises. It’s not realistic to expect them to keep IP like Fallout in stasis when they need it

@javycane

**To be fair they decided to retool the whole engine** set to get it ready for the future + work on a new IP. It happens.

Im sure it was not their intention to keep the series iced for 10 years.

Remains to be seen… Todd “16 times the detail” Howard has a tendency to exaggerate.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

Hindle xbox has like 7 other rpg’s in development and 2 from the developers of Fallout alone. I dont see this absolute need to do something with the IP.

Game Pass has grown with minimal xbox game studios exclusives tbh.

Pretty sure the plan for Fallout is we will get to it started somewhere after Starfield drops.

2022 - Starfield

2024 - TES6

2026 - Fallout

Promise you Fallout is not the first nor the last series to have a long gap between releases and if anything 76 is still there with chances of expansions to keep people busy. Commit to it with a proper X|S patch and continue with the content drops.

That would be terrible (and I think Fallout by BGS Maryland in 2026 is quite optimistic, 2028 would be my guess).

I really want MS to announce at E3 that they have founded a 24th new studio solely dedicated to the Fallout franchise (like 343 and Mojang).

Or massively expand BGS Austin, rename it and make it the 24th studio (so it’s no more a satellite studio of BGS Maryland that is only supporting FO76 while helping on Starfield and TES6). Though I guess it would be better to found a new studio so you don’t interfere with BGS resources.

That franchise is massively understaffed compared to Halo and Minecraft (and even other smaller IPs like Gears or State of Decay) and too huge to depend of when a team is available somewhere to make a new game.

There is so much potential with this IP and I’m getting annoyed that it’s not getting proper resources. Hoping that it will change with the acquisition.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

I mean if the plan is to grow one of the BGS to dedicate resources to Fallout then go ahead lol. I just dont see the “need” to push one out the door just for the sake of it.

BGS been “at xbox” barely 3 months.

As much as Id like that, they have officially owned Bethesda for only a few months.

The IP is a billion dollar series when you factor in subs, console sales, physical, that’s the need right there. MS acquired Bethesda for that kind of earning power

[Hindle]

MS didnt spend 7.5bn just to do nothing with the second most valuable IP that’s owned by Bethesda

[BadNews]

I would love for Microsoft to make a multiplayer shooter. It would be cool if we could have an ID tech multiplayer shooter.

But nobody said they arent doing anything. Just that the development pipeline for BGS right now seems to be Starfield which is aiming to be humongous and TES which is bigger than Fallout.

If BGS makes another team to start one ahead of schedule great but I dont think they need to fast track anything when We have like 7 rpg’s in development already.

They obviously acquired it so they could release PlayStation hits…

[AtticusFincher]

Between InXile/Obsidian’s RPGs and Arkane’s immersive sims Microsoft can let Bethesda take however long they want on Fallout.

From a fan view sure, from a business view, Fallout is way bigger then those and will drive subs more then them

[Shakez]

Beyond staff growth, BGS now has all the technical support and money they need, to get their engine and tech up to speed in less time than before and also adjust their internal pipeline to become as optimized as possible. With direct support from MS, DirectX and all other XGS studios, Bethesda can only get better with time.

No more rushing with games, no more chasing trends and microtransactions. They can just focus on one thing, making the best games, the games they want to make and with all the support they need.

I’m sure the old board sucked the energy and creativity out of them, now that energy will only go to where it matters most.

I believe that TES and Fallout aren’t as far out as we make it to be, we’re assuming Bethesda will just keep things the very same and won’t change their dev pipeline in 10 years.

I mean look at the growth and change at Ninja Theory, Inxile, Obsidian, Playground, The Coalition getting more ambitious, Undead labs getting more ambitious and so on.

The BGS from 2022 won’t be the same, imagine then 5 years from now.

Also I’m sure that the Starfield delay is something that came together with the acquisition, just like double Fine had more time and money to add what they really wanted in the game, I’m sure Bethesda is now super happy to do what they really want to with this game, and MS just gave them time and money.

They just could release finally Quake Champions on Xbox consoles.

It’s treason then.

They have TES, Starfield, Halo, Forza, Avowed, Outer Worlds, Inxile, Fable and just about any other IP to carry the load for a while. Finally no more pumping games out for quotas.

I dont think Fallout is the make it or break it game for gamepass subs lol.

A Quake revival could be interesting.
