The story of Fall-out is filled with the consequences of humanity's actions, adding to the iconic wastelands that players have come to know and love. When it comes to Fall-outthe horrors of an uncontrolled, post-apocalyptic society are highlighted in each entry, presenting a fascinating glimpse into what a post-nuclear world might look like.
With a growing list of titles, Fall-out has robust skills that have made it a standout in the RPG world. After the 2018s Fallout 76many wonder what Fallout 5 have in stock. From the setting to the plot, there is basically nothing substantial known about the next game. With such a long-running series, it can be difficult to keep things fresh while staying true to a franchise essence. But one way Bethesda can mix things up and still embrace the game's lore is by focusing on FEV. By adding a new stem, Fallout 5 may include a small but effective change that offers something new to players.

Fallout: London may have set the stage for a 2025 game to take off
Overlooked and underrated, Fallout: London still paved the way for an upcoming Fallout-like game with a similar British approach to success.
Fallout 5 Noting Fallout 4's approach to FEV
The source of the super mutants
FEV, also known as the Forced Evolutionary Virus, is a staple throughout Fall-out franchise. Originally used as a biological weapon, the virus has a long history within the series due to its creation of super mutants, and Fallout 4 showed FEV in a whole new light. In this chapter's narrative, the Institute conducted years of experiments involving the FEV. Through trial and error, the Institute's scientists released mutated subjects into the wild, wreaking havoc on the Commonwealth.
The institute's FEV produced super mutants who were huge, muscular humanoids who boasted immunity to radiation in addition to their strength. Their posture is more upright than other mutant counterparts, and they also have the capacity for basic speech, unlike the poor speech of Vault 87's Super Mutants.
The Institute's super mutants can build forts and set traps, making them a major threat.
Fallout 5 introduces a new kind of super mutant
Depending on where Fallout 5 takes place, it could leave the door wide open for a new type of Super Mutant. Perhaps another secretive or villainous group like The Institute somehow managed to experiment with an FEV and create a never-before-seen version of the Super Mutants. Whether stronger or more intelligent, Super Mutants playing at least a small role in the story would go a long way. Another fascinating angle would be to introduce a colony where super mutants and human survivors have managed to coexist peacefully together. There have been civilized and non-hostile super mutants in the past, such as New Vegas' Marcus and Fallout 4s Uncle Leo, but a fully developed cooperative society could be a compelling story to explore.
Fallout 5's mysterious path forward
Bethesda's next move
There are high expectations for Bethesda at the moment. After the lackluster response to Starfield and its latest DLC, crushed space, The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 have a scary road ahead of you. The overwhelmingly positive response to Amazon Primes Fall-out series has rekindled interest in the franchise, making the road ahead even more challenging for Bethesda. To meet expectations, Fallout 5 will have the difficult task of balancing both classic lore points with fresh concepts.
It is believed that
Fallout 5
will be released after
The Elder Scrolls 6
which likely means a long wait for the next chapter.
While the game will likely need to do more to excite longtime fans, a unique take on Super Mutants could be a strong starting point. With the success of the live-action adaptation and the revival of Fallout 76 and its other single-player entries, it will be exciting to see how Bethesda uses these successes to inform Fallout 5s overall story.
