Bethesda has revealed a massive roadmap for the future of Fallout, The Elder Scrolls and Starfield. The Elder Scrolls VI is now Bethesda Game Studios’ primary focus. Fallout 5 has entered pre-production, and Obsidian is officially returning to the Fallout universe with a new project. Bethesda also confirmed plans for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remakes, continued Starfield support and a new version of its technology called Creation Engine 3.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has generated plenty of conversation surrounding its casting, sound mix and decision to adapt the classic story again. After seeing the film, I think most of that controversy distracts from what actually makes it special.

Xbox and PlayStation have both experienced major layoffs, studio closures and restructuring, but the way those stories are covered often feels very different.When Xbox cuts jobs, it is frequently presented as evidence that the entire brand is collapsing. When PlayStation closes studios, cuts staff or restructures Bungie, the coverage often moves on much faster or treats each story as an isolated problem.

Bethesda Game Studios has revealed its long-term roadmap for Fallout, The Elder Scrolls and Starfield. The biggest announcements include confirmation that Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas remasters are in development, Obsidian Entertainment is partnering with Bethesda on a new Fallout project, and The Elder Scrolls VI is now the studio’s primary development focus.

Path of Exile 1 is getting another major expansion, and I sat down with game director Mark Roberts and designer Octavian Morosan to talk about the future of the game.
We discuss Grinding Gear Games’ surprisingly small and efficient development team, major changes designed to help new players, systems being brought over from Path of Exile 2, how the studio reuses assets across both games, its proprietary engine, secret content, datamining bait and why developers keep hiding bananas throughout Path of Exile.
We also talk about the possibility of a Path of Exile movie or card game, favorite bosses, lessons from past leagues and how the team plans to keep growing Path of Exile 1 alongside Path of Exile 2.
