Bethesda's venerable sci-fi RPG franchise Fallout has made a huge splash as an Amazon Prime streaming series, and now the video game studio's boss Todd Howard says its fantasy-focused Elder Scrolls series could be up next - but maybe not for a while.
Howard tells Eurogamer that he "can't rule in or rule out an Elder Scrolls thing in the future," but like the Fallout show, it might be a "10 year" process.
"I will say this, the Fallout journey was like a 10 year one," After Fallout 3, people were asking to do a movie or show for Fallout, and we really took our time. But, you never know. I think the impact of the show on Fallout as a franchise has been bigger than I expected, so it does make you think like 'hey, is there a path?'. But, nothing today… [and] I'm willing to say 'no' for a decade."
The Fallout show stands apart from many of its genre contemporaries with a somewhat twisted retro-futuristic take on the apocalypse. Bands of mutants and violent bandits roam an irradiated wasteland while Vault dwellers hide out in the apparent safety of '50s-style underground suburbias – that is, until characters like Ella Purnell's Lucy MacLean find themselves forced to leave those shelters.
