Microsoft insider Jez Corden has reported on a recent podcast that he has heard Bethesda is targeting 2027 for the next Fallout remaster.
The claim, presented as information Corden says he has received, sits alongside broader discussion about the timing of future Bethesda projects, including The Elder Scrolls VI.
Background and platform context
Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks are part of ZeniMax Media, which Microsoft acquired in a deal that closed in March 2021.
Bethesda’s franchises include Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, series with long histories on consoles and PC.
Fallout 4 originally launched on November 10, 2015, while Fallout 3 first released on October 28, 2008.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion debuted in March 2006, and The Elder Scrolls VI was teased by Bethesda in 2018 but has no official release window.
Nintendo platforms have previously hosted Bethesda titles: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim arrived on Nintendo Switch in November 2017, demonstrating Bethesda’s willingness to bring large-scale RPGs to Nintendo hardware and the Nintendo eShop.
Coverage of Nintendo’s next hardware, often referred to in reporting as the “Nintendo Switch 2,” has led to renewed interest in how Bethesda’s remasters and ports might appear on future Nintendo platforms.
What the insider said — rewritten
According to Corden’s description on the podcast, he has been told that Fallout remasters are likely farther out on Bethesda’s schedule than some observers expect, and that Elder Scrolls VI remains a long-term project.
In journalistic terms, Corden framed these timelines as hearsay — reporting what he has been told rather than announcing confirmed release dates.
Verified facts to keep in mind
- Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax Media (Bethesda’s parent) in March 2021. - Fallout 4 originally released November 10, 2015. - Fallout 3 originally released October 28, 2008. - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion originally released in March 2006. - The Elder Scrolls VI was first teased in 2018 and has had no official release date announced.
What to watch next
Until Bethesda or Microsoft issues a formal announcement, timelines cited by industry insiders should be treated as unconfirmed.
Official channels to monitor for verified news include Bethesda’s own social feeds, Microsoft and Xbox event schedules, and Nintendo broadcasts such as Nintendo Direct.
If Bethesda plans remasters or ports for Nintendo hardware or the eShop, those platforms would be central to any official reveal.
