Fallout 1 meets Doom in incredible looking re-revealed fan game
After seemingly vanishing for three years, a fan-made Doom mod with a Fallout theme has resurfaced with a new trailer and release window. It has been a long time since the last wholly original Fallout game was released. Multiplayer entry Fallout 76 has continued to receive updates and Fallout 4 saw a re-release for modern consoles last year, but that's all in the last decade. The success of the Fallout TV show has no doubt incentivised Microsoft and Bethesda to fast-track new projects, but while multiple new games are reportedly in the works, including Fallout 5, nothing has been officially announced. Aside from simply replaying the older games, fans have to rely on community-made projects, such as the impressive Fallout: London mod for Fallout 4, that launched last year. And now there's a reimagining of Fallout 1, that's been made as a mod of Doom. Dubbed Fallout: Bakersfield, the project was initially teased all the way back in 2022 but seemed to drop off the map, as many of these fan projects do. It turns out the team have been chipping away at it ever since and sharing regular updates on its progress since September 2023, though only through a website called Boosty, that we've never heard of before. Regardless, a new trailer has dropped this week and it manages to look like both Doom and Fallout. Unlike the modern Fallout games that blend role-playing mechanics with real-time gunplay, the original Fallout was a traditional role-playing game with turn-based combat. It's often forgotten, but Bethesda did not invent Fallout, they bought the franchise from defunct publisher Interplay and by the time they released Fallout 3 in 2008 there were already four other games preceding it. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Judging by the name and trailer, Fallout: Bakersfield isn't adapting the entirety of the first game and is instead focusing on one area: the Necropolis. This is a city built in the ruins of Bakersfield, California and is now home to mutated ghouls. The mod is being built with the GZDoom engine, which is based on the engine for the original Doom and a popular choice for Doom mods. So, it's probably more accurate to say Fallout: Bakersfield is reworking Doom to be more like Fallout rather than the other way around. Not only does it use the same style of 2D pixel artwork from Doom for the player character and enemies, even the heads-up display at the bottom of the screen is similar to Doom's, complete with a render of the player character's head that reacts to taking damage. The pixel art and HUD's design have been updated to resemble Fallout's post-apocalyptic aesthetic and while the mod doesn't appear to retain any of Fallout 1's role-playing mechanics (at least from what we can tell), the HUD does have a text log that's constantly narrating your actions, just like the original. More Trending To be honest, it's very impressive and we really like the way they've used the Doom engine to make something that's reminiscent of the era the first game came out in (the first Fallout was released in 1997, just a year after Quake, when there were still plenty of Doom clones around). Although the trailer focuses on exploring and shooting, there won't be a complete absence of spoken dialogue, as it ends with the player confronting Harry, leader of the super mutants, complete with different dialogue options for the player to make. As for when it'll be available to play, the tail end of the trailer only promises to have it out before the 2020s are up (so 2029 at the latest). Apparently it's currently 60% complete and though the team appears to consist of only two people – Alexander 'Red888guns' Berezin and Denis Berezin – the popularity of the trailer may well act as a recruitment tool to get more people helping out.

Fallout: New Vegas 2 teased amongst ‘multiple' new Fallout games
New rumours suggest that Bethesda and others are working on a range of new Fallout titles, including a potential remaster of Fallout 3. Somewhat surprisingly, Amazon's Fallout is the most successful live action adaptation of a video game ever, even more so than The Last Of Us. It had a huge effect on sales of the existing games but there hasn't been a new one since online spin-off Fallout 76 in 2018, and it's been a full decade since Fallout 4. Bethesda has barely even hinted at a new entry and with work going slowly on The Elder Scrolls 6 it's not going to be until the next decade before we see Fallout 5. Spin-offs and remasters are the obvious answer to that problem but so far there's been none of those either, just the fan-made Fallout: London. But according to new rumours they are on the way, including a possible sequel to fan favourite Fallout: New Vegas. The obvious assumption is that Bethesda quickly put a bunch of new titles into production, once the Amazon show became a surprise hit. Speaking on the podcast Friends Per Second, VGC's Jordan Middler suggested that there were 'multiple' Fallout games currently in development, but didn't mention any by name and implied that none of them were close to release. The only time he got close to being specific was when he alluded to 'one that I'm sure you're all wanting', which we would've interpreted as a remaster of Fallout: New Vegas. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. However, he then followed that up with a quip, saying: 'Anyway, New Vegas 2, coming soon.' It's unclear to what degree this is a joke, since the 'coming soon' aspect is obviously not true. But the whole comment may not have been meant seriously. Fallout: New Vegas was made, not by Bethesda, but by Avowed developer Obsidian Entertainment. Despite being many fans' favourite in the series it's rarely acknowledged by Bethesda and many suspect they're secretly jealous that it gets more love than Fallout 3 and 4. As it happens though, Microsoft now owns both Bethesda and Obsidian, so can make them do whatever they want. But despite Obsidian admitting they'd like to do a remaster nothing has ever been announced or seemed to be in development – not least because Obsidian has so much on its plate at the moment, including this year's The Outer Worlds 2. More Trending There's been even less talk of a New Vegas 2, although there was a suggestion of Obsidian being in 'early talks' for it in 2022 and then a reference to it in the code of the Fallout 4 next gen update in 2023. A Fallout 3 remaster has been rumoured for some time, but it's never been officially announced and the last time we heard about it, it was said to be in trouble. Although the success of Oblivion will no doubt have made it more of a priority. As for Fallout 5, Middler speculates that by the time The Elder Scrolls 6 is out, which is imagined to be sometime around 2028, director Todd Howard will be old enough that he might not want to spend the best part of the next decade making Fallout 5. That's by no means guaranteed but his unwillingness to let anyone else make a mainline entry would explain why everything is taking so long.

Amazon renews Fallout months before season 2's premiere
The second season of the Fallout TV series doesn't even have a concrete release date in December yet, but Amazon has already renewed the show for a third season. Amazon has announced that it has greenlit the new season at its annual presentation in New York City. The company said Fallout has had more than 100 million viewers since it dropped on Prime Video in April 2024 and remains one of its top-three most watched titles ever. If you'll recall, the live adaptation was so well-received, Fallout 4 enjoyed a resurgence in sales nearly a decade after its release. Amazon also renewed the series for a second season just a few days after the first season debuted on its streaming service. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Fallout is set 200 years into the future after an apocalyptic event. In the story, the humans who survived the apocalypse hid in luxury fallout shelters where their descendants remained for hundreds of years. The show follows Lucy as she leaves her shelter after an attack by outsiders to find her father who'd been kidnapped. Along the way, she meets more characters, including a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel and a ghoul bounty hunter. Amazon has yet to reveal season 3's story, which doesn't come as a surprise, seeing as the second season has yet to drop. But season 2 will pick up from where the first one had left off and will take viewers from the Mojave wastelands to New Vegas.
