There might not be any sign of Fallout 5 yet, but a fan recreation of Van Buren has just launched, while Fallout: London seems just days away. There’s just one problem with the overwhelming success of the Fallout TV show on Amazon ..
. there’s no new game to come out alongside it and there’s probably not going to be for several years, especially not in terms of Fallout 5 . Even the rumours of remakes and remasters of older games are pretty vague, which leaves nothing new to look forward to.
But thankfully fans have things covered, with two major new mods on their way, that have the potential to be just as big as an official release. The fan-made Fallout: London has been anticipated for years but Fallout Yesterday – Van Buren has also just been released and it attempts to recreate, as accurately as possible, a lost game that was originally supposed to be released before Fallout 3, but was cancelled back in 2003. Newer fans often don’t realise, but Bethesda did not invent Fallout.
It was originally published by the now defunct Interplay and was itself the spiritual sequel to 1988 game Wasteland, which recently got a modern sequel . At the time, the Fallout games were isometric 2D titles and only moderately successful. They were developed by Black Isle Studios, who also no longer exist but many staff from which went on to form Obsidian Entertainment – who are now owned by Microsoft and are making this year’s Avowed .
After Fallout 2 in 1998, the plan was to make Fal.
