Bethesda Softworks has announced that the next chapter in the Fallout franchise, Fallout: New Vegas, will launch this autumn.
First revealed at a London event in April 2009, the RPG is currently in development at Alpha Protocol and Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II studio Obsidian.
Bethesda says that the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 title, which is set in a post apocalyptic Las Vegas, isn’t a direct sequel to Fallout 3, which won numerous Game Of The Year awards.
Interesting. It looks like Vegas was spared the bombs. You'd think it would be the first city the Godless Communists would want to blow up. What the hell is that robot doing?
'Not a direct sequel' story-wise or gameplay-wise? In other words, does anyone know whether this uses the Bethesda/Gamebryo Oblivion/Fallout engine or all new tech?
