Bethesda has spent much of that time celebrating where Fallout has been, but fans have been eager to learn where the series is going to go next. Questions about the future of Fallout 5, rumors of long-awaited remasters, and reports of additional projects have kept speculation swirling as the franchise continues to grow beyond the games.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
Bethesda has finally shared a sweeping update on the future of the franchise, confirming that Fallout 5 remains its “long-range destination” while revealing that multiple Fallout projects are currently in active development. The announcement also includes updates on remasters, ongoing game support, television projects, and even plans for the series’ 30th anniversary.
Bethesda Reveals What’s Next for the ‘Fallout’ Franchise
One of the biggest reveals is that Bethesda has been working on remasters of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. While the publisher stopped short of announcing release dates, it confirmed that both projects are in development, giving fans the opportunity to revisit two of the franchise’s most beloved entries that they’ve been asking for years. Bethesda also confirmed that they are collaborating with Obsidian Entertainment again on a new Fallout project that has already been reported, but did not reveal any additional details, saying only that it would have more to share in the future.
Support for the existing games isn’t slowing down, either. Bethesda announced that Fallout 76 will receive a major expansion next year titled Raven Rock, a prequel story to Fallout 3. The studio also celebrated Fallout 4 surpassing 35 million copies sold, more than a decade after its release. Bethesda also highlighted the continued success of Fallout Shelter, which has now reached more than 250 million players worldwide. New Seasons are on the way, and Bethesda revealed that an unscripted Fallout Shelter television project is in development with Amazon Studios and Kilter Films. Outside the games, Bethesda congratulated Amazon Studios and Kilter Films on Fallout Season 2 receiving 10 Emmy nominations as Season 3 is in production.
Looking further ahead, Bethesda also announced plans to celebrate Fallout‘s 30th anniversary with a live Fallout Day event in Washington, D.C., in 2027. While there won’t be a traditional Fallout Day broadcast this year, Bethesda says the milestone celebration will mark the franchise’s biggest anniversary yet. Bethesda said it will share more information on several of these projects in the future, but for now, the publisher has offered its clearest look yet at what’s next for the wasteland.
