Bethesda has said it is working on Fallout 5 and plans to release it following the next Elder Scrolls game. It has also been seen hiring staff from the popular Fallout: London team who are presumably working on the next game due to their familiarity with the previous games and experience in creating new content.

As a child of the 70’s I was part of the many who became enthralled by the video arcade invasion of the 1980’s. Saving money from various odd jobs I purchased my first computer from a friend of my dad, a used Atari 400, around 1982. Eventually it would end up being a lifelong passion of upgrading and modifying equipment that, of course, led into a career in IT support.
