- Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters aren’t around the corner, according to insider Jez Corden.
- The game’s Steam entries have nothing to do with a shadow-drop.
- Fallout 3’s remaster is predicted to release in 2026, while the New Vegas remaster will launch much later.
With Amazon’s Fallout TV show premiering its second season, the franchise is back in the limelight. Gamers were expecting Bethesda to release a remake to coincide with the show’s release, as Fallout 5 is still far away, but the developer has been radio silent.
Reports have confirmed that both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are receiving the remake treatment from the studio, but according to insider Jez Corden, these titles aren’t dropping imminently.
Why it matters: The franchise has seen a surge in interest with the release of Fallout season 2, so not releasing a remake to capitalise on the TV show is a missed opportunity.
In a new report, Jez Corden revealed that remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas won’t be released soon. The insider explained that, even though development is well underway, these titles won’t shadow-drop like Oblivion Remastered did last year.
Corden also debunked some fan assumptions, saying that the recent Steam updates for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas had nothing to do with the release of a remastered version. The activity was due solely to updates to the localised editions of the existing games.
However, fans won’t have to wait too long, as the Fallout 3 remaster is set to release in 2026, according to Corden’s prediction. Just like the Oblivion Remaster, the title will have Unreal Engine 5 features implemented in the base Creation Engine code.
No release date has yet been confirmed for either remaster. But, fans will get to play Fallout 3 first as the game is set to drop before the New Vegas remaster, which is going to take a bit more time.
