Todd Howard from Bethesda states that Obsidian was the only studio considered for developing Fallout: New Vegas due to their previous work on Knights of the Old Republic 2, and hints at ongoing, unannounced Fallout projects.
Fallout 76 is currently free for Prime Gaming subscribers on PC and Xbox, with the offer available until May 15. The game's availability is part of a promotion tied to the release of the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video. The franchise has seen a surge in player numbers, with Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 experiencing significant concurrent player increases on Steam. Additionally, Prime Gaming subscribers can also obtain a GOG code for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel and play Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition on Amazon Luna. Furthermore, a new ATMOS Ambience Overhaul mod for Fallout: New Vegas on PC has been released, offering an immersive 3D ambient soundscape.
Fallout: New Vegas endures as a classic RPG due to its compelling storytelling, diverse factions, and interesting characters, despite its aging gameplay and visuals. The game's exploration of complex ideologies and moral choices, along with its mix of serious themes and goofiness, has kept it relevant in the gaming community, especially with the upcoming Fallout TV series.
The Fallout 4 New Vegas modding team has released new footage of their ambitious project, showcasing the implementation of the fan-favorite Recharger family of weapons. The mod aims to remake Fallout New Vegas in Fallout 4's engine and has been in development for several years. While there is no confirmed release date, the team remains active on social media platforms, sharing progress updates. The mod will not be available on consoles, requires ownership of all DLCs from both games, and will not work with Fallout 4 VR. The game world of Fallout 4 New Vegas will be 25% larger than the original, and DLCs may be developed after the main game's release.
