Summary
According to a prominent insider, the rumoredFallout 3remaster will not be released very soon. With the rumors ofTheElder Scrolls 4: Oblivionremaster growing to a fever pitch recently, fans are curious about the possibleFallout 3remaster, but unfortunately, it does not seem that gamers will get to play this title for a while.
Fallout 3was originally released in 2008, and it marked the first title in the franchise developed by Bethesda. Following in the footsteps ofOblivion’s popularity,Fallout 3was a big commercial hit, selling over 12 million units over the years. Back in 2023, during the FTC trials in which regulators decided if Microsoft could purchase Activision Blizzard, leaked documents indicated that remasters for bothOblivionandFallout 3were being planned by Bethesda.
Now, insider Nate the Hate talked aboutthe rumoredFallout 3remaster, claiming that “it’ll be a while” before gamers see it. The comment came up as Nate answered a fan who asked if the game was still happening, as the leak that announced its existence was almost two years ago. Unlike theOblivionremake, no information has been given about it since the primary leak took place, and the project could have easily been canceled.
‘It’ll Be a While’ Before the Fallout 3 Remaster Is Released
Unfortunately, Nate the Hate’s vague answer makes it impossible to tell when the remaster will finally be out, but it’s possible to speculate on the release date based on the details unveiled in the original leaked documents. For instance, Bethesda originally expected theFallout 3remaster to be released in the same year asThe Elder Scrolls 6. Considering thatThe Elder Scrolls 6is nowhere near its release in 2025, and will likely only be out by late 2026 or 2027, the game could possibly follow a similar timeframe.
The launch of theOblivionremaster, on the other hand, seems imminent by now. Rumors about the game had already begun appearing over the past few months, but a recent leak has shown actualscreenshots ofThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, indicating that the rumored title is real and will be released for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. It’s expected thatThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remasteredwill be a day one Xbox Game Pass release, and it could still be released in April. Current rumors indicate that the game has received a graphical overhaul, as well as several quality-of-life improvements and some revamped gameplay features, changing elements such as the combat.
