Shoot Mutants in Vegas This Fall

Posted February 4th, 2010 in Articles, News, PC, PS3, Steam, Trailers, Video, Xbox 360 by Adam Robinson

Publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout 3 follow-up, Fallout: New Vegas, was officially announced a while back, but we didn’t get much in the way of details. Now the aforementioned companies are spilling a few beans. First: a trailer, courtesy of Youtube and Machinma.

Fallout: New Vegas takes place in the same time-line and universe as Fallout 3. Also, the game isn’t handled in-house by Bethesda, but rather Obsidian, who also worked on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and the forthcoming espionage RPG Alpha Protocol. It shouldn’t be a surprise, given Obsidian’s experience, that the game will retain Fallout sensibilities—role-playing; post-apocalypse with a dark sense of humor; and so on.

No word on a firm release date yet, but we know Bethesda plans to put Fallout: New Vegas on shelves this fall.

  1. Nice. I love fallout. I am still playing that game on a regular basis. I hope it’s “Fallout”, but not just a remake if you know what I mean Chiiiiildren!

  2. Can’t wait to get more details about this game. I loved Fallout 3. I can’t help but feel this game is going to be terrible though. It’s as if there is a disturbance in the force.
