Having a game set in the Windy City is only being speculated over because fans of Fallout: New Vegas remember that there is a hint towards an Enclave outpost in Chicago.

This one is a bit more 'out there' in terms of its validity. We've already visited swampy areas in Fallout, but a game set entirely around the deep south would certainly be an interesting take. Ultimately, this listing hasn't resulted in anything more than five years later, but it could all be a clever bait and switch. Rumors that a new Fallout game would be set in New Orleans started after a trademark application for ' Fallout New Orleans (opens in new tab)' was spotted online in 2016.

Here are the most rumored places we've heard chatter about so far: You don't have to look far to see fans discussing and fantasizing about where Fallout 5 will take place. It would nice to see Fallout explore different parts of the world, but that might change the game up too much and alienate long-term fans who are particularly fond of the setting. Fallout 3, for example, was set in Washington while Fallout 4 took place in Boston. Fallout games have all been set in a US state, so it would stand to reason this aspect wouldn't change. If you've ever played a Fallout game, you'll know how much it loves its doomsday nuclear-ravaged American setting.
