A new report claims that an insider shared news about a new "Fallout" game under development by a Microsoft-owned studio has now been canceled.
New 'Fallout' Game Reportedly Canceled, Says Insider
Long-time gaming journalist Jeff Gertsmann revealed in the latest episode of his podcast that a Microsoft-owned studio has decided to cancel a new "Fallout" game that is already under development.
It was clarified by Gertsmann that the studio behind this alleged development is another Microsoft-owned studio and not the main team behind the franchise, Bethesda Softworks, and its other subsidiaries.
That said, Gertsmann's claims in his podcast did not reveal which Microsoft-owned studio is behind this development and what specific "Fallout" game was canceled by them.
Moreover, the claims by the podcast host did not reveal if it was Microsoft or the studio that was behind the cancellation of the said "Fallout" development.
Is the Canceled 'Fallout' Game a Remaster Project?
According to GameRant's report, the canceled "Fallout" game is not likely to be the rumored remaster projects of two titles in the franchise that have long been requested by fans.
These two titles are "Fallout 3" and "Fallout: New Vegas," which have long been the subject of remaster rumors from trusted insiders. However, there is still no concrete information or confirmation from Bethesda or other studios.
This means that these two remasters are safe, with Gertsmann claiming that the "Fallout 3" remaster has already been outsourced to an external game development studio.
Moreover, it is known that Bethesda is still responsible for the development of a specific game in the franchise, specifically, the mainline series' "Fallout 5."
Despite this remaining on Bethesda's hands, the development may still take years before the much-awaited game sees a release.
