Fallout 3 and New Vegas are getting remastered, and Bethesda just promised more Starfield support

• Bethesda Game Studio has shared a major update
• The announcement confirms two Fallout remasters in addition to further Starfield support
• The developer is also teaming up with Obsidian Entertainment for a new Fallout title

Bethesda Game Studios has just shared a major update, confirming that it will continue supporting Starfield, and is currently working on remasters of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

"We love making these worlds as much as you love playing in them. Today, we want to share what's next," begins the latest post on the Bethesda website.

It adds that the company is "investing more deeply in the worlds players love" — but what exactly does that mean?

First, the developer says its latest release, 2023's Starfield, will continue to receive updates and support throughout the coming year with gameplay improvements, new story content, and "additional updates" planned.

The popular Fallout series is also receiving plenty of love. Fallout 5 is currently in development, though it's still a "long-range destination" in the early phase of production that will likely take many years to complete. In the meantime, however, players will be able revisit the worlds of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in the just-announced remasters.

There's no word on when those will release either, but I imagine they're not too far away — particularly that Fallout 3 remaster, which has been rumored to be in the works for years.

The post goes on to confirm that Bethesda is partnering with New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment on a "new Fallout project". This is presumably the New Vegas sequel teased in reports earlier this month that suggested the two teams were collaborating on a new title.

Of course, upcoming RPG The Elder Scrolls 6 is also mentioned, and described as the studio's "primary development focus today." As expected, however, a release date is not mentioned, and the title is still likely half a decade away.

All of this comes just over a week after Microsoft announced that Xbox, Bethesda's parent company, would be undergoing the "most significant restructure" in its history with a total of 3,200 jobs lost over the coming months.

In an email sent to Xbox employees, CEO Asha Sharma said that while the move would be "painful" it would allow the brand to to focus on "higher priority projects" with its Activision, Bethesda, King, Mojang, and Xbox Game Studios teams — a strategy already evident in the high-profile releases announced today.
