Even moreso considering they basically have all 3 studios at Xbox involved with Fallout.

inXile, the studio founded by Interplay Productions’ (Fallout 1 and 2) founder Brian Fargo, which basically became a spiritual successor to that studio.

Obsidian, the developer of Fallout New Vegas.

And of course BGS, the developers of Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout 76.

I get it, all 3 studios have been busy with their respective projects. But to not have something in active development somewhere between the 3 feels like a wild error to me.

It is a wild error honestly. Fallout is, and has been, immensely popular. The show is a hit, 76 is seeing an insane rejuvenation and the masses are eager for the Fallout update.

Microsoft as the owner of the IP should be much more aggressive with it. Maybe there are legal complications but Jesus…they should already have established a Vault Studios or some shit that’s just constantly working on something related to Fallout.

everyone saying Microsoft being hands off was great for their studios. Turns out it wasn't so great.

Yeah forcing studios to do things they don’t want to do sounds like great environments to work it

Not as if they're bastions of worker rights as it stands. https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Reviews/Bethesda-Softworks-Reviews-E1047242.htm
