Even with Fallout 3 months away from release, developer Bethesda Softworks is already laying the foundations for a sequel. In a recent interview, Bethesda's Pete Hines stated his company's intent to produce more than one sequel to the popular post-apocalyptic RPG franchise.

"The whole reason we went out and acquired the license and that we now own Fallout is that we clearly intended to make more than one. This is not something we're going to do once and then go away and never do it again... when that will be or how long that will be, god only knows, but we acquired it specifically because we wanted to own it and develop it and work on it like we do with The Elder Scrolls."
