Key Takeaways
1. Bethesda is working on multiple projects in the Fallout series, but specific titles have not been confirmed yet.
2. A toy listing for a Nuka-Cola bottle suggests a remastered version of Fallout 3 may be in development.
3. Speculated pre-order and release dates for the remastered game are March 15 and August 31, respectively, but these are not confirmed.
4. Fans believe an earlier release in April is possible, referencing the surprise launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered last year.
5. Todd Howard has expressed a growing openness to remasters but has not provided specific details about Fallout 3 Remastered’s release.
For a long time, fans have been eager for a new game in the Fallout series, and Bethesda has confirmed that they are working on several projects, although they haven’t revealed any specific titles yet. Previous rumors and leaks have suggested that a remastered version of Fallout 3 could be one of them. Now, it seems we might have a potential release timeframe due to a listing for a Fallout toy.
Toy Listings Reveal Clues
The details come from the website Toynewsi, which has compiled listings from Brodepot, a store specializing in toys, figurines, and action figures that include a variety of collections from games, anime, and films. One notable listing is for a Nuka-Cola bottle from Fallout 3 Remastered. The item is titled “MCFARLANE ELITE EDITION 7IN – FALLOUT 3 REMASTERED – #13 T-45B NUKA COLA.” Although the image is a bit blurry, you can still get a good idea of how the model will look.
Speculated Release Dates
Alongside the listing, there are pre-order and release dates mentioned. The pre-order deadline is set for March 15, while the release date is noted as August 31. This could indicate that the game might be released on or before August 31. However, this is just speculation, as the site states that the release dates are for reference only. On the bright side, Toynewsi does point out that these Brodepot listings “generally turn out to be true.” Nonetheless, McFarlane Toys has yet to confirm any details.
Fans on Reddit, however, think that an earlier release in April is more plausible, especially since that’s when The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was launched last year, which was quite a surprise. If not April, the months of October and November are seen as the next most likely timeframes for the game’s release.
Todd Howard’s Insights
Recently, Todd Howard had a conversation with Greg Miller on the Kinda Funny Gamescast podcast. He mentioned that he has become more open to the idea of remasters over time, but he didn’t provide any specific information about when Fallout 3 Remastered might come out. Given the unexpected popularity of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered after its surprise release, it’s possible that Bethesda may take a similar approach with Fallout 3 Remastered.
