Long-time Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick is leaving the company following its acquisition by Microsoft in October. Kotick will depart on 29th December, with Microsoft largely keeping the company’s leadership intact outside of this.
Fallout 4’s ‘next-gen update’ has been delayed to 2024

Bethesda has delayed Fallout 4’s PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC update to 2024.
“Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the Fallout 4 next-gen update,” it said. “We know you’re excited, and so are we! But we need a bit more time and look forward to an exciting return to the Commonwealth in 2024.”
Bethesda said last year that Fallout 4 would be getting a free current-gen upgrade in 2023.
It’s set to include “performance mode features for high frame rates, quality features for 4K resolution gameplay, bug fixes and even bonus Creation Club content”.
Asked about its progress in August, Bethesda’s now retired head of publishing Pete Hines said the company had its hands full with Starfield, which would be released in September following a couple of delays.
“Dunno if you heard but we are shipping a new game in 3 weeks. Bit of a priority. When we have an update, we will share it,” he said.
Fallout debuted in 1997 and the most recent game in the series was 2018’s online multiplayer title Fallout 76. Season 15 of the game, The Big Score, launched this month.
The last mainline series entry, 2015’s Fallout 4, is also its best-selling one, having shipped 12 million copies worldwide for launch day alone, according to its publisher.
Bethesda’s Todd Howard reiterated last year that Fallout 5 was behind Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 in the developer’s production queue.
Amazon recently released the first trailer for its Fallout TV series, which is coming to Prime Video in April 2024.

Bethesda is far from done with Fallout 76, unsurprising given 17 million people have jumped in since the Wastelanders update
We often discuss the impressive turnaround of games like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk, but Fallout 76 should probably be included in that discussion. While the game launched as an empty wasteland back in 2018, Bethesda has since added a ton of new features to make it feel more like, well, a Fallout game. NPCs, new locations, more fulfilling quests, iconic Fallout factions like the Brotherhood of Steel, and downright weird stuff like alien invasions. It may have suffered a torrid development, but the general consensus is that it's now a Good Videogame.

Obsidian pitched doing a Fallout: New Vegas but for The Elder Scrolls, Bethesda said we're good thanks
Developer and writer Chris Avellone, formerly of Interplay and Obsidian Entertainment, has recently been musing on Twitter about some of the roads not travelled during his time at the latter studio. One of Avellone's biggest credits is his work on Fallout: New Vegas, regarded by some as the finest 3D Fallout and the closest in spirit to the original isometric games, and—as spotted by GamesRadar+—he says after that Obsidian wanted to do the same: but for The Elder Scrolls.

The Fallout TV series will include a Vault Boy origin story for some reason
We got our first look at the Fallout TV series last week with a trailer on Saturday preceded by a behind-the-scenes report from Vanity Fair, which included looks at the show's main characters and surprisingly bright and colorful post-nuclear world, and of course some words from Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard. The report also included a small and frankly baffling detail for fans to look forward to: Vault Boy, the real-world mascot of the series and in-game avatar of fictional megacorp Vault-Tec, is going to get his very own origin story.
