Bethesda Plans to Satisfy 'Fallout' Anticipation through Exhibition Connections and Fresh Titles
In a thrilling turn of events for Fallout enthusiasts, leaked documents from 2023 suggest that not one, but two exciting projects are in the works. Among them, a remaster of the beloved Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and a revamped version of Fallout 3, although no official confirmations have been made yet.
The documents, which have been making waves in the gaming community, also hint at a remaster of Fallout 3. However, Bethesda, the game's developer, has yet to confirm whether a remaster is indeed in development. While the company is reportedly working on multiple Fallout projects, including ones that fans are eagerly anticipating, no concrete details about a Fallout 3 remaster have been released.
On a more concrete note, fans can rejoice as there are confirmed plans for in-game tie-ins between Fallout 76 and the second season of the Prime Video Fallout show. Fallout 76's creative director, Jon Rush, has stated that Bethesda is actively coordinating with the TV show's production team to create crossover content aligned with the seasonal releases of the show. Details about the content remain under wraps, but it is expected to debut either late into Fallout 76 Season 22 (called Appalachian Modern Living) or early into Season 23, roughly coinciding with the show's targeted December 2025 premiere for Season 2.
As for the future of other franchises, Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the DC Universe all have upcoming releases, but specific details about these projects are not yet available. It's also unclear what other projects are being referred to in the leaked documents, save for one likely being Fallout 5.
The potential tie-ins between Fallout 76 and the Fallout show could include skins for key characters or in-game events reminiscent of certain episodes. The two projects, Fallout 76 and the Fallout show, are said to go together well, with developers keeping any overlap between Fallout 76 and the show "pretty simple."
VGC journalist Jordan Middler has indicated that one of the projects in development is something fans have been wanting for several years. However, he did not specify which project he was referring to.
It's worth noting that the timeline of Fallout 76 (set in the past) and the show (furthest in the future) has a 200-year gap. This suggests that the crossover content could offer a unique blend of historical and futuristic elements.
As we await official announcements, Fallout fans can look forward to new content tied to the second season of the TV series. For the Fallout 3 remaster, however, fans will have to stay tuned for more updates.
Lastly, the future of Doctor Who is not specified in the provided news article.
- Io9 and Gizmodo have speculated about a potential Fallout 3 remaster, but Bethesda, the game's developer, has not yet confirmed whether such a project is in development.
- In a intriguing crossover, Fallout 76 and the Prime Video Fallout show are expected to share content during the second season, with the exact details of the crossover yet to be revealed.
- Although Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, and the DC Universe all have upcoming releases, no specific details about these projects have been disclosed, and it remains uncertain what other Fallout projects might be hinted at in the leaked documents aside from a possible Fallout 5.
