There was nothing we couldn&#8217;t do. And clearly that&#8217;s wrong.<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Fallout 76 was one that I definitely struggled [to warm up to],&#8221; Nesmith said. &#8220;I think the company&#8217;s aim was not as focused as it probably should&#8217;ve been and you can see the results of that in the way it entered into the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To a certain extent our own hubris caught up with us. We had had so many, not just successes but literal game of the years, industry wide accepted game of the years; not just in our own heads or in these two little magazines over there, but everybody is saying this is the game of the year. We started to talk ourselves into the fact of we were infallible. There was nothing we couldn&#8217;t do. And clearly that&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nesmith said it was the players asking for a multiplayer game that led Bethesda director and executive producer Todd Howard and the team to create Fallout 76 over any influence from executives. Having not developed a multiplayer game before, Nesmith said the team didn&#8217;t realise how different the process would be.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"every-ign-fallout-review\" data-value=\"every-ign-fallout-review\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>&#8220;It was like, &#8216;it&#8217;s going to be the same Fallout. All we have to do is add multiplayer.&#8217; And with those words we started down a path that was not as successful as we had before because it&#8217;s not just adding multiplayer,&#8221; Nesmith said. &#8220;Turns out it was adding so, so, so, so much more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fallout 76 has undergone somewhat of a resurgence since then, however, as Bethesda continued to support the game with regular updates and expansions.<\/p>\n<p>As for the next single-player Fallout game, fans will be waiting a while. Howard has confirmed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/todd-howard-bethesda-fallout-5-elder-scrolls-6-starfield\">Fallout 5 won&#8217;t arrive until after The Elder Scrolls 6<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-elder-scrolls-6-still-five-years-away-playstation-version-undecided\">isn&#8217;t due until 2028 at the earliest<\/a>.
