Mark your calendars for October 23rd, as Bethesda gears up for its annual Fallout Day broadcast, promising the latest updates on existing games, community festivities, and future fan gatherings. This date holds deep significance within the Fallout universe, marking the catastrophic events of October 23, 2077, when nuclear devastation reshaped the world into the iconic wasteland explored by players for years.
The live stream is scheduled for October 23 at 10 AM Pacific Time, 1 PM Eastern Time, and 6 PM in the UK. Immediately following the main presentation, the FalloutforHope post-show will begin. Bethesda has officially stated that viewers can anticipate “the latest news about our existing Fallout games, community celebrations, and upcoming fan events.”
While the announcement did not explicitly mention any new game reveals, speculation is running high within the community. Rumors about potential Fallout remakes have circulated, especially following the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. A Fallout 3 Remaster was reportedly leaked back in 2023, though those plans may have since evolved. It is widely understood that Fallout 5 remains a long-term goal for the studio, but it is not expected until after the completion of The Elder Scrolls 6.
A more probable focus for the broadcast is Fallout 76. The online multiplayer title recently unveiled its forthcoming Burning Springs update and the addition of a new character, The Ghoul, directly inspired by the Prime Video Fallout series and featuring the likeness and voice of actor Walton Goggins. Furthermore, with Season 2 of the Fallout TV show, set in New Vegas, slated for a December release, the event might also showcase a fresh trailer or new images related to the series.
The most recent substantial update on Fallout 5 came in June 2024 from Bethesda Softworks head Todd Howard. In an interview, Howard expressed a clear lack of interest in rushing the project out the door. He discussed the future of the beloved RPG series, emphasizing a thoughtful approach to development.
Howard explained that while he understands the community’s desire for a new single-player experience, he believes taking the necessary time is crucial. He stated that the team does not feel pressured to hastily release new titles, especially with the ongoing work on Fallout 76 and the narrative space filled by the successful television adaptation. For him, it is about ensuring that every release, whether for Elder Scrolls, Fallout, or Starfield, becomes a significant and meaningful event for the dedicated fanbase.
The last primary single-player installment, Fallout 4, launched back in 2015, with its DLCs rolling out over the following year. Fallout 76 debuted in 2018, and while it gradually built a player community, the franchise experienced a massive surge in popularity following the debut of the Prime Video television series, introducing the post-apocalyptic world to a vast new audience.
