After years of rumours, Bethesda has finally announced remasters of both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas – and given hints about Fallout 5.
After the launch of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda fans have been waiting for at least one of the older Fallout games to get the same treatment.
A Fallout 3 remaster has been something of an open secret since 2023 and there’s also been chatter of fan favourite Fallout: New Vegas seeing a remaster or sequel.
Now, with as little fanfare as you’d expect from the games industry nowadays, Bethesda has just casually admitted that both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are getting remasters, alongside a slate of new updates for the studio.
The announcements were made via a blog post on Bethesda’s website, though it pointedly refrained from sharing any release dates or any info whatsoever. Not even a bit of concept art.
It mentions that it’s planning something special for Fallout’s 30th anniversary, but that’s not until October 2027, and you’d think Bethesda wouldn’t wait that long to properly show off the remasters.
Bethesda also touches upon both The Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, saying that the latter is in pre-production, but the former remains the priority and is progressing well: ‘We’re where we planned to be, loving how it looks, and playing it every day.’
Additionally, it confirms reports that New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment is working on a new Fallout alongside Bethesda, but whether it’s New Vegas 2 or not remains to be seen.
