🚨 BETHESDA LEAKS FALLOUT 5 DEAD – FANS EXPLODE IN CHEERS AS WASTELAND DREAMS DIE! 😱 “600-HOUR AI SLOPPFEST CANCELED?!” YouTuber DROPS BOMBSHELL: ES6 ALSO TOASTED after Starfield flop… Modders WIN, Bethesda BURNS! Is the franchise SAVED or DOOMED FOREVER? Click NOW – truth vanishing FAST! ☢️💀
A bombshell YouTube video titled “Bethesda leaks Fallout 5 is DEAD and FANS CHEER” has ignited a firestorm across gaming communities, with the creator claiming the post-apocalyptic RPG sequel is effectively scrapped – and that fans are celebrating the news. Uploaded by Qwazar77 on December 25, the 14-minute rant has racked up nearly 8,000 views, hundreds of likes, and comments echoing sentiments of relief amid Bethesda’s rocky reputation.
The video doesn’t cite anonymous insiders or documents but extrapolates from recent developer interviews, painting Fallout 5 as a looming disaster due to Bethesda Game Studios’ alleged reliance on “AI slop” for endless content. Citing a Game Informer chat with lead designer Emil Pagliarulo, the creator mocks ambitions for “200, 300… 600 hours” of gameplay as unfeasible without procedural garbage quests like Fallout 4‘s infamous “settlement needs your help.” An “Edsterto” article (likely Edge magazine) is referenced, noting Fallout 5 trails The Elder Scrolls VI by a decade, fueling speculation it’s “dead” in all but name.
“No one wants this. No one trusts this. Everyone expects it to be a failure,” the YouTuber declares, tying it to Starfield‘s 2023 disappointments – buggy launches, empty planets, and endless patches – and Fallout 76‘s infamous 2018 debacle. The Fallout TV series’ second season is dismissed as a “disaster” with “insanely poor” stats, despite its canon status influencing future games.
Bethesda has not responded to requests for comment, but official statements contradict cancellation rumors. In a December Game Informer interview, Todd Howard affirmed the studio is “working on even more Fallout,” with Fallout 5 slotted after Elder Scrolls VI – now in full production on Unreal Engine 5. Pagliarulo’s 600-hour vision aims for “the biggest and most ambitious RPG,” potentially crossing over with the Amazon Prime hit that boosted Fallout 4 sales by 7.5 million post-premiere.
Fan reactions are polarized. X (formerly Twitter) lights up with anti-Bethesda fury: “Let the Fallout show be the final proof that Bethesda is a dead studio. Abandon all hope for Fallout 5,” posts one user. Another: “Bethesda can’t even make a disappointing sequel… There thankfully isn’t going to be a Fallout 5.” YouTube comments cheer: “I’m cheering,” with 51 likes; “Stick with FNV modded.” Reddit’s r/Fallout echoes: Many prefer Obsidian’s New Vegas (2010) mods over Bethesda’s “soulless” engine.
Yet optimism persists. July 2025 rumors claimed Fallout 5 greenlit after Xbox axed Blackbird to prioritize it. Leaks hint at San Francisco setting, tying to TV lore. Howard reassured at Fallout Day 2025: “Just know we are working on even more.”
Bethesda’s pipeline explains delays. Starfield (2023) underperformed expectations despite 10 million players, shifting focus to Elder Scrolls VI (target: late 2020s). Fallout 5 – Bethesda’s next single-player flagship – eyes 2030s release, per Howard’s 2022 IGN comments. Xbox’s 2025 push for “multiple Fallout games” includes spin-offs, possibly by Obsidian or inXile.

Critics slam Bethesda’s Creation Engine for dated visuals and bugs, post-Microsoft acquisition. Fallout 76 redeemed via updates, but Starfield patches (e.g., 2.0) drew “too little, too late” ire. Modders thrive: Fallout 4 boasts 100,000+ Nexus mods; New Vegas remains “true canon” for purists.
The video’s clickbait mirrors July layoffs (75 at Zenimax) and canceled projects, but no Fallout 5 evidence. X users decry: “Fallout dead after New Vegas.” Proponents argue TV success (25 million viewers) demands quality; leaks suggest accelerated dev.
As 2026 looms, with Xbox Showcase potential reveals, the “death” narrative thrives on distrust. Will Bethesda deliver wasteland glory or more mirage? Fans mod on, but eyes stay peeled – the radstorm brews.
