Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat Every day I wake up, I pray to God that Larian makes the next Fallout game.

I think a far more possible scenario is Obsidian Entertainment stepping in, also due to their past and still some key personell left. Doubly so if both Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 are going to underperform MS' expectations -- if that happens, Obsidian may even be turned into a franchise studio mainly. Doing Fallout product for the next couple years / decade.

This isn't actually unrealistic. The release cycles between games are getting longer and longer. As development is taking longer and longer, mainly due to the audiovisual fidelity -- Starfield started in 2015, btw. and if you're really curious, check out on which consoles Skyrim launched first (or Rockstar's last GTA game...) MS would sure love to put a new Fallout game out yesterday, what with the popularity of the show. But unless Bethesda are going to upgrade into a behemoth of a studio, they're not going to regularly provide all those big IPs. They have TES too.

Franchises such as Call Of Duty have been doing this for years. The reason they can regularly release a game is multiple studios taking turns with releases.
