However, while Howard clearly knows more than he was letting on right now, he has admitted it&#8217;s &#8220;not [his] place&#8221; to speak about it, preferring to save that honour for MachineGames.<\/p>\n<p>OK, fair enough. But, what about an Elder Scrolls TV show or film? Surely that would be a no brainer for Bethesda after the success of Fallout&#8217;s own series and the unwavering devotion many gamers have for Skyrim. Well, the answer wasn&#8217;t a no\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To see this content please enable targeting cookies.<\/p>\n<p>Manage cookie settings <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will say this, the Fallout journey was like a 10 year one,&#8221; Howard replied when Mat asked for the developer&#8217;s thoughts on an Elder Scrolls adaptation of some description. &#8220;After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/fallout-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fallout 3<\/a>, people were asking to do a movie or show for Fallout, and we really took our time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That said, Howard &#8220;can&#8217;t rule in or rule out an Elder Scrolls thing in the future.&#8221; However, the Bethesda exec believes the Fallout franchise was &#8220;more uniquely suited&#8221; and had &#8220;more to say in its genre&#8221; at this moment in time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, you never know. I think the impact of the show on Fallout as a franchise has been bigger than I expected, so it does make you think like &#8216;hey, is there a path?&#8217;. But, nothing today\u2026 [and] I&#8217;m willing to say &#8216;no&#8217; for a decade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Walton Goggins as Cooper \" the=\"\" ghoul=\"\" howard=\"\" in=\"\" fallout=\"\" season=\"\" two.=\"\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox=\"\" data-uri=\"fallout-season-2-goggins.jpg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.7777777777777777\" width=\"1920\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Amazon<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the chat with Mat (poet and didn&#8217;t know it), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/fallout-and-elder-scrolls-boss-todd-howard-defends-ai-in-game-development-but-aims-to-protect-artistry-and-human-intention-in-his-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Howard spoke more about the use of AI in video games<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/bethesda-boss-and-rpg-lover-todd-howard-names-his-2025-game-of-the-year-and-it-shouldnt-come-as-a-big-surprise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his personal game of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The second season of Fallout will be heading to Prime later this month, on 17th December.
