So I watched an interview with Todd Howard that was released today and while most of it was pertaining to Skyrim Anniversary Edition it did have some stuff relevant to Fallout 5:
1) The next Fallout game is in fact planned for being made after Elder Scrolls VI.
2) Todd Howard seems extremely reluctant to let another studio make a Fallout sequel/game, so the odds of Obsidian making Fallout New Vegas 2 are unlikely.
3) Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI will be the biggest technological jump for Bethesda ever, so Fallout 5 will benefit from that.
4) Todd described Starfield's release date as (paraphrasing), 'Being written in pen in an age where most release dates are written in pencil,' and he considers 11 his "lucky number" so he's pretty attached to the 11/11/2022 release date. With at least 2 years between games, though, that means Fallout 5 can't really plausible come out before ~2026-2027 if its being made by Bethesda Game Studios, unless the studio is given significant money by Microsoft to expand and handle more games.
Basically, its probably going to be 10 years between Fallout 4 and Fallout 5.
