If we believe Xbox insider Jez Corden, Microsoft wants to fast-track development on Fallout 5.

While Microsoft certainly has the resources and incentive to make Fallout 5 a priority, it’s still unclear how ZeniMax Media’s owners will make it happen.

If Microsoft wants Fallout 5 to be as successful as every mainline entry before it, it needs to have Todd Howard.

He was also an executive producer on the live-action Fallout series, which was recently renewed for a second season.

With that said, Microsoft can afford to hire the right people to make sure Fallout 5 lives up to the expectations.

The influential video game creator was a designer on Fallout 2 and the project lead on Fallout: New Vegas, a spin-off developed by Obsidian Entertainment. »

This momentous move marks Sittwe Port as the second international port, after Iran's Shahid Beheshti Port in Chabahar, to be managed by IPGL.
