Yet another report has backed up the possibility that Bethesda is working on a Fallout 3 remaster. Following a report from April that said a Fallout 3 remaster was real but not coming soon, VGC has now said it is aware of a remaster of the now-17-year-old RPG.
The new report didn’t have any details on the supposed Fallout 3 remaster, however, apart from how it could be in the vein of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. The game launched this year to great success, featuring graphics and performances improvements, as remasters usually do.
Fallout 3 originally came out in 2008 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. It was very well-liked and sold millions of copies. It’s playable on Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, and players have reported that the performance is improved, but there has never been a dedicated port or remaster.
The re-emergence of a possible Fallout 3 remaster came amid an interview that Bethesda’s Todd Howard gave to GQ in which the developer mentioned the team is working on Fallout 76, The Elder Scrolls 6, and “some other things.” Beyond a possible Fallout 3 remaster, we also know that Bethesda is working on Fallout 5.
As for Fallout 4, Bethesda released a new-gen update for the game in 2024, while a Fallout 4 anniversary edition launched today, November 10.
