You have to hand it to Fallout fans – other than The Last of Us TV viewers (and maybe the Half-Life 3 fanatics), few are awaiting a brand new title in the series like them. It’s even more agonizing after the success of Amazon’s Fallout, and with Season 2 underway, the wait begins for something, anything from Bethesda.
While creative director Todd Howard confirmed that the studio is working on a “whole bunch of stuff” for the franchise, a mysterious countdown appeared on Amazon’s site for the show. It indicates a reveal in 27 days, 17 hours and 30 minutes at the time of writing, and as you might expect, speculation is running wild that it could be Fallout 3 Remaster-related.
Insider NateTheHate didn’t confirm or deny it, simply reaffirming that it’s a “planned release.” However, he added, “I’m not certain of a reveal window for it.” This follows his last statement on the alleged remaster and how it wouldn’t be released anytime soon.
If this countdown is for anything, then it’s likely focused on the TV show and little else. On the bright side, Howard did confirm that Fallout 5, whenever it’s revealed (rumors last year claimed it’s in development), will “exist in a world where the show’s events happened or are happening.” So even if you’re only able to vicariously enjoy its story through other characters, at least it counts.
