Final week noticed the thrilling new trailer for the upcoming Fallout present. Whereas the variation goes to be telling its personal story, you might be questioning whether or not it would contact on Fallout 5‘s attainable narrative, even by chance. Nevertheless, Todd Howard has made certain that hasn’t occurred.

In a current interview with Den of Geek (as noticed by VGC), the present’s govt producer Jonathan Nolan clarified whether or not the TV sequence is, to some extent, Fallout 5. Nolan says a dialog between him and Todd mentioned the concept of the present being part of the general Fallout universe, slightly than being a retelling of one of many recreation’s tales.

Todd Howard then mentioned he made certain the showrunners didn’t do sure issues. He mentioned he informed the crew, “don’t do that, as a result of we’re going to do this in Fallout 5.” There’s even a joke about how the variation is sort of like Fallout 6. However the consensus is that the present is its personal story and doesn’t tread on something that’s come earlier than or after it when it comes to arc.

Talking of Fallout 5…

When Bethesda confirmed the following Fallout recreation was at present being labored on, I feel it’s secure to imagine folks thought it was too early to make such an announcement. Starfield was nonetheless very a lot in growth on the time, and we nonetheless have completely no concept what’s happening with The Elder Scrolls 6 since that 2018 E3 tease.

In brief: don’t count on Todd to start out giving freely an excessive amount of about F5 or TES6 anytime quickly. I feel he’s nonetheless coasting on the (ahem) success of Starfield, however hopefully, the studio is making some headway on the brand new initiatives.

Within the meantime, Fallout might be airing on April 11 by way of Amazon Prime Video.
