Rumored Approval of Fallout 5 Could Spell Trouble for Starfield

Fallout 5 is apparently in the works! At least, that’s what folks are whispering about these days. Jez Cordon from Windows Central dropped this little nugget, saying Zenimax gave the green light. But, I gotta say, how real is it, right? Maybe it’s costing us that Project Blackbird, which, let’s pause for a sec, was an MMO from the Elder Scrolls Online squad. Kinda wild if you think about it.

Now, hey, if these rumors hold, Bethesda fans are in for some wild times. It’s been like, what, a thousand years since the last solo Fallout? Okay, not literally. But really — it feels overdue, doesn’t it? We all kinda saw this coming, like an overdue library book. The timing is a head-scratcher, though. Just as Bethesda’s sweating over Starfield — wait, have you played it? Opinions vary. It was supposed to be this grand leap forward. But now, maybe Fallout 5’s like, “Move over Starfield, I’ve got this.” Who decided this, huh? Maybe they switched gears too fast. Who knows?

Alright, let’s switch gears. Starfield isn’t exactly conquering the world like they hoped — bummer, right? Some like it, sure, but it’s no Skyrim or Fallout 3. Those things had players hooked, you know? The company thought they hit gold, but now — not so much. They might still patch it up with those free updates or some massive DLC, but fingers are crossed here. The enthusiasm? Yeah, it’s fading quicker than you’d imagine.

Oh, that Shattered Space DLC! Talk about a mixed bag. REV-8 patch had people buzzing, setting this huge standard. Then, silence. Like, hello? Anyone? They said, “2025 is our year!” But where’s the buzz since then? Crickets. Not a peep. Maybe they’ll just give up on more DLC. Feels like a drag investing in something folks aren’t all hyped about anymore.

Funny how these Fallout 5 rumors come riding in on Starfield’s tailwind. It’s a hot mess. Fallout’s killing it right now, against all odds — especially with that TV glow-up it’s having. And Starfield’s kinda like that cold dinner you forgot in the microwave. Can they really afford to put more steam into Starfield when Fallout’s hitting the lights again? Maybe turning to Fallout makes financial sense, no? Feels like Bethesda’s ready to hit up their comfort zone. A sure thing. Can you blame them?

Man, things are heating up. Whatever happens next, it’s gonna be something to watch. Just hold onto your hats — this ride is just getting started.
