Rumored Fallout 5 Approval Could Spell Trouble for Starfield

Sure, let’s dive into this whirlwind! Fallout 5, oh boy, it’s like the universe kinda whispered about it, and suddenly everyone’s ears perked up. So Jez Corden, right, from Windows Central? He’s the dude tossing out the rumor that Zenimax gave the thumbs up for Fallout 5. But at what cost? Okay, this is where it gets juicy – Project Blackbird might be getting the boot. It’s that big MMO thing from the folks who blessed us with The Elder Scrolls Online. Crazy, right?

Anyway – wait, am I jumping around too much? Whatever, let’s go with it. Bethesda fans are probably bouncing off walls – or is it just me imagining them doing that? Fallout’s been kinda on pause for ages, nearly a darn decade! But you always knew it was lurking around the corner, like, “Surprise! I’m back!” So, everybody’s just nodding their heads, like, “We knew you’d be back, buddy.”

But wait, the weird timing of it all. Bethesda’s got Starfield on their plate. Not even two years in, and folks thought Starfield was gonna be the golden child for a good while. That fairytale’s slipping, though – and here comes Fallout 5, potentially the big bad wolf.

Now, switching gears – actually, hold on, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Starfield’s journey didn’t quite reach the stars, ironically. People thought it’d skyrocket like Skyrim or Fallout 3. But nope, just a bit of a “blink-and-you-miss-it” moment. Those free DLCs might rescue it, a bit like a lifebuoy – we hope? But who knows, the fans have already got their popcorn and are watching closely.

Every game has its quirks. Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC? Folks had high hopes, you bet! But it kind of wobbled and then poof, the buzz fizzled. It’s like they threw a party but nobody showed up. So what’s next? Bethesda teased big 2025 stuff but went as quiet as a ninja. Maybe they just went on a coffee break… a long one.

And then the whole Xbox Games Showcase thing? Everyone figured Starfield would strut its stuff there – didn’t happen. Nope, nada. It’s like turning up expecting fireworks and just getting… clouds. Fallout’s dancing into the scene when Starfield’s still finding its footing. Kinda makes financial sense to play up the vault doors and mutants again, right?

Fallout 76 and that TV spin have unexpectedly kept the brand alive. It’s got this whole phoenix-from-the-ashes vibe to it. Starfield, meanwhile, stays cold, and I mean, who gets hyped for ice? Fallout 5 looks like a sure win. Whoever’s steering the wheel at Bethesda probably thinks, “Alright, let’s bet on the old faithful.”

Gosh, did I ramble? Well, let’s call it a journey. Life’s all about the turns, after all. Or something like that. 🌀
