Since the release of the TV show, the next game has some explaining to do. The TV series is the latest-set entry in the franchise, and incorporates people, places, and things from across the decades of lore — even if it does leave out one major recurring character. But as hard as the TV show tries to stay canon-neutral, it makes its own impact on the universe, too. Sticking closest to one of ' endings as the true outcome for the Mojave Wasteland, the TV series clearly has its own take on canon.
Bethesda Has Had "Conversations" About Third-Party Fallout Games Like New Vegas

Fallout 5 won't start development until after The Elder Scrolls 6 launches, so we're a long way off from the next numbered game in the series, but the Amazon show has ignited a newfound hype in the franchise. So, the question is whether a third party will develop a spin-off akin to Obsidian's New Vegas in the meantime.
As reported by VGC, Todd Howard claims that Bethesda has always been open to the idea, and that despite conspiracies from fans of him being upset at the popularity of New Vegas, he loves the game.
Xbox, who owns Bethesda as of 2021, is reportedly planning to release another Fallout "sooner rather than later" . Jez Corden of Windows Central added that he even thinks we'll see a new game "this decade", i.e. within the next six years.
"We've always had those conversations," Howard said in an interview with Kinda Funny Games. "We did a lot of things for the show. It might seem like there isn't a big new game out, but we added content to 76 for the show. 76 has a really great map expansion that's coming this summer with Skyline Valley.
"They did an amazing job with New Vegas. I can’t speak to things that we’re doing with the franchise in the future, obviously, but New Vegas is a very, very important game to us and our fans. We think they did an incredible job.”
Microsoft now owns three studios with Fallout baked into their DNA. There's Bethesda, which currently owns the rights; Obsidian, which not only developed New Vegas - based on ideas from the original Fallout 3, Van Buren - but was also founded by former Black Isle employees (the developer behind the original Fallouts); and inXile Entertainment, which was founded by Interplay co-founder Brian Fargo (also the developer behind the original Fallouts).
Obsidian and inXile both have Fallout spiritual successors in The Outer Worlds and Wasteland, the former following the first-person shooter style of Bethesda and the latter the classic, isometric, turn-based approach. With all three studios now under the Xbox umbrella, perhaps we'll see one take a crack at Fallout again. But Microsoft and Bethesda could throw a curveball and hand the IP to a completely different studio without any ties to the franchise. We'll just have to wait and see.
However, it's worth noting that New Vegas design director Josh Sawyer, who is still at Obsidian, would happily return to the series. "I love Fallout, I love the setting, I could see myself working in it again," Sawyer told Kinda Funny Games last year. "People have talked about New Orleans. I do think California or the Midwest would also be very interesting."

Todd Howard Explains Why Bethesda Plans to Keep Fallout Set in the U.S.
For years Fallout fans have wondered if a video game in the franchise will ever leave the United States for another country. According to Fallout lore, the nuclear war of 2077 upon which the franchise is based was not localized to the U.S., but a global event. And so, the idea of traipsing astound post-apocalyptic London or even Canada has long-been mooted by fans.
