Not releasing one thing Fallout: New Vegas-related to tie in to the second season of the immensely well-liked TV present happening in that recreation’s setting can be dropping the ball on a really Biblical degree. Then once more, Bethesda is no stranger to dropping the ball.
Season 2 of Amazon’s Fallout TV present has been nice to date, it needs to be stated, however some die-hard followers are extra targeted on what is going on on outdoors the present. A promotional web page for the present includes a mysterious locked part hidden behind a countdown — and whereas that countdown coincides with the season finale in a couple of weeks, some consider it’d additionally tease a remaster of Fallout 3 or New Vegas.
It isn’t fairly as far-fetched because it sounds. Do you bear in mind these court docket paperwork from the Microsoft/Activision acquisition that precisely leaked the existence of the Oblivion remaster? In addition they included a directly-named Fallout 3 remaster and a mysterious Venture Platinum, which some have taken as a reference to the Platinum Chip, New Vegas‘ central Macguffin. Bethesda studio boss Todd Howard has additionally gone on report expressing a want to proceed shadow dropping video games after taking that strategy with Oblivion.
Whereas anything is rumour, a couple of shops swear that confidential sources have confirmed the remastered duology is coming in some unspecified time in the future. Amongst others, Home windows Central had this to say:
[W]e are finally getting a Fallout 3 remake within the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, in addition to Fallout New Vegas on prime. I am instructed Obsidian of Grounded, The Outer Worlds, and Fallout New Vegas fame has 4 new tasks, some massive some small — Fallout co-creator Tim Cain additionally joined the studio a short time in the past. I am undecided if any of those tasks are Fallout-related, however both means, it exhibits Xbox is not taking its foot off the pedal relating to content material.
Whether or not that comes subsequent month or subsequent yr is anybody’s guess, however personally I would not put an excessive amount of inventory in that Amazon timer, which in all chances are only a behind-the-scenes featurette that accommodates spoilers.
Provided that Oblivion Remastered is almost twenty occasions bigger than the unique, although, I might begin releasing up laborious drive house now.
