he continues. &#8220;We are taking that into account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, whenever Fallout 5 rolls around, it can be assumed that whatever occurs in the TV show will leave a mark in the game&#8217;s world, in some way.<\/p>\n<p>The next question is when we&#8217;ll actually see a Fallout 5 come to fruition, and the answer is that it&#8217;s likely to be years away.<\/p>\n<p>Howard has <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/starfield-new-details-todd-howard-interview\">previously stated<\/a> it will be the team&#8217;s next game after Elder Scrolls 6, but at this point, there&#8217;s no telling when that will be done.<\/p>\n<p>Elder Scrolls 6 is still &#8220;a long way off&#8221; by Howard&#8217;s own description, though he has also said work is &#8220;progressing really well&#8221;, so it sounds like it&#8217;s moving, just slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Fallout 5 is probably way down the line, then, but it&#8217;s interesting to know the TV adaptation will be taken into account when we get there.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited about Fallout 5?
