Still wondering about that massive Fallout 4 hoax? Here’s some awesome news for you: The next entry in Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG series is real, it’s in development right now, and, as rumored, it appears to be set in Boston, according to casting documents obtained by Kotaku.
After a couple of years of rumors, including a reference from a voice actor earlier in 2013, a trademark for Fallout 4 in Europe, and even a website that ended up being a hoax, it’s awesome to know that Fallout 4 is, indeed, quite real.
This is the first confirmation we’ve received that the next Fallout game is in the works—although it’s been generally assumed that Bethesda Game Studios, the development studio behind Fallout 3, has been working on a new Fallout since completing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim back in 2011, Bethesda has yet to announce the new game in any form. In 2012,rumors circulated that Bethesda employees were scouting the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston for an upcoming Fallout game, but other than that, news has been thin.
Yet the next Fallout remains one of the world’s most anticipated games, and a few weeks ago, when an apparent teaser website called TheSurvivor2299 popped up on Reddit, people went crazy. The site, which was crafted as if it were an alternate reality game, hinted at a Fallout 4announcement through a trickle of hidden messages and plot details, revealed through morse code and other cyphers. The sheer level of detail made the website seem real to some observers, but Bethesda wouldn’t comment one way or another. Are you excited for the latest installment of Fallout?
