Fallout season two is officially underway on Prime Video, but, listen, Bethesda boss Todd Howard gets it. He knows some people wish the TV series were a new game instead.
He tells The Game Business in an interview, "Everybody will say to us, 'It's really disappointing you don't have a new game to take advantage of this'" momentum with the show. But, Howard continues, "it's like, 'Well, the show is great. It is what it is. It's doing great for us. We're taking advantage of it. And when the next main Fallout game comes along, I think it'll do great as well.'"
Fallout's TV adaptation is "way more" popular than Todd Howard expected, so the RPG series' devs have had to ensure "the games are ready for all the players who are coming into them"
Todd Howard says Bethesda is already considering "what elements can we bring into our games" from Fallout season 3
As desperate fans lament Fallout 5's no-show during the Fallout Day broadcast, Todd Howard himself promises Bethesda is "working on even more"
And anyway, why rush? Howard seems confident the Fallout IP is especially healthy right now, telling The Game Business, "We have a linear medium. You want to watch a show? We got a great show. You want to play an online game? We have a great online game. You want to play a single player? We have Fallout 4 there."
"They're all kind of operating with very, very large audiences, all four of those things right now," he says confidently.
