A new report suggests that Microsoft may have canceled an unannounced Fallout project that was previously in development at Xbox Game Studios. While details remain scarce, the information has sparked discussion among fans of the long-running post-apocalyptic RPG franchise.
The claim comes from industry commentator Jeff Gerstmann, co-founder of the gaming outlet Giant Bomb, who mentioned during a recent podcast that another Fallout title had been in development internally before being shelved.
Unannounced Fallout Project Allegedly Cancelled
According to Gerstmann, the project was being developed within the Xbox Game Studios ecosystem after Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda and ZeniMax Media. However, the project was reportedly cancelled before reaching a public announcement or reveal.

Neither Microsoft, Bethesda, nor any related studios have officially commented on the report.
Which Studio Was Working on the Game?
One of the biggest unknowns surrounding the alleged project is which studio was responsible for development.
Since Microsoft acquired Bethesda, several studios under the Xbox umbrella could theoretically work on Fallout-related titles, including:
-
Bethesda Game Studios
-
Obsidian Entertainment
-
inXile Entertainment
However, there is currently no evidence pointing to any specific studio being involved in the cancelled project.
Fallout 5 Is Still Far Away
Fans hoping for a new mainline entry in the series will likely have to wait a long time. Fallout 5 has not entered full production yet, as Bethesda Game Studios is currently focused on The Elder Scrolls VI.
Once development on that title is completed, the studio is expected to turn its attention back to the Fallout franchise.
Remasters Could Arrive First
In the meantime, speculation continues around potential remasters of older Fallout titles, including Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
While none of these projects have been officially confirmed, they could potentially bridge the gap before the next main entry arrives.
