Bethesda initially licensed the rights to make three Fallout games, then went back and purchased the IP outright. This not only suggests that Bethesda is interested in making more Fallout games, they’ve come out and said that – although they’ve never announced further games.
Bethesda Game Studios is also large enough to maintain staggered development on two major titles at once. They did this with Oblivion and Fallout 3, they did it with Fallout 3 and Skyrim, and they’re doing it right now with Skyrim and a project Todd mentioned last August, saying only that they had a second game they had recently started working on. Is this game a new Fallout? Maybe. Probably even, but they haven’t said either way.

I will also add that we have an http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1224988-fallout-4-speculation-suggestions-and-ideas-33/ in the Fallout section for speculation on future Fallout releases. Let’s continue this conversation in there rather than Community Discussion.
