Microsoft Might Have Scrapped a New Fallout Game, Report Claims A potential Fallout game project, allegedly in development at a Microsoft-owned studio, may have been canceled, according to claims by former GameSpot and Giant Bomb journalist Jeff Gerstmann. Gerstmann revealed this during an episode of his podcast, The Jeff Gerstmann Show, stating he was aware of a new Fallout project that is unlikely to be released. "There was a Fallout thing in development at another Microsoft-owned studio that I think is no longer going to see the light of day," he said. The details surrounding the project remain unclear, as its size, scope, and direction were not disclosed. Gerstmann noted it could have been a sequel to Fallout 4 or a smaller venture like Fallout Shelter. However, Bethesda, the developer behind the Fallout franchise, has not officially announced any new projects in the series since Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda in 2023. The company released Fallout on Amazon Prime in 2025, but no further developments have been confirmed. Gerstmann also addressed ongoing rumors about a Fallout 3 remaster, suggesting it might have been outsourced to an external studio. This aligns with the development of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which was handled by Virtuos. Fans have speculated that a similar approach could be taken for the Fallout 3 remaster, though no official confirmation has been released. Recent speculation about a Fallout announcement has been fueled by various leaks and social media posts. Last week, Iron Galaxy tweeted an image hinting at an imminent Fallout reveal, but the link was later corrected to an update for Fallout 76.#microsoft #jeff_gerstmann #bethesda #fallout_4 #fallout_shelter
