Bethesda Game Studios boss Todd Howard in an interview with IGN on the red carpet for the premiere of the Fallout TV series was asked on his thoughts on other Bethesda IPs getting adapted into TV shows.

“I don’t know. There’s nothing in the works,” he says. “Everybody asks, like, about Elder Scrolls, and I keep saying no also. And I would approach those – I’ll probably say no. You never know if someone’s gunna click.

“But I think this really came out of, ‘we think things are aligning to do a high-quality job.’ It wasn’t forced. It was kind of a natural relationship and ‘hey, this sounds really cool.’ As opposed to, ‘we should have a show,’ right? It never came from that.”

He adds, “I can’t predict the future, but this has been one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever done, and we’re just kind of over the moon, everybody in the studio with seeing it this way.”

The first season for the Fallout TV series is now available to watch on Amazon Prime. The show was recently renewed for a second season.

The free next-generation update for Fallout 4 will release on April 25 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The free update for the game adds Performance mode and Quality mode settings, stability improvements and fixes, up to 60 frames per second and increased resolutions.
