Bethesda
Rumors have been swirling around a new “Fallout” game for quite some time now, however things just got real. At about 9:30am on Jun 2, Bethesda Game Studio’s Twitter account dropped a teaser image saying “please stand by” on a black and white background in the style of an old movie production countdown… say the kind you might find on a movie reel used in the 1950s. The tweet also had a link attached which directs to http://fallout.bethesda.com. The website features the same image, animated with a ticking clock in the background and a countdown timer just below the “please stand by” which is set to expire tomorrow morning at 9:00am CDST, presumably revealing a grand announcement of the forthcoming “Fallout” sequel.
All of this is, of course, just speculation as Bethesda has yet to officially announce anything “Fallout” related. In an interview with “Rock, Paper, Shotgun” back in February, Bethesda game director Todd Howard stated, “We don’t have a timeframe for our next game announcement, but I think it’s gonna be a while.” However, hints at a new “Fallout” game have been dropped since as early as January of 2013. Everything combined with the fact that we haven’t seen a “Fallout” game since “Fallout: New Vegas” in 2010 seems to indicate that it’s about that time to return to the wasteland. If rumors hold true, that wasteland could be Boston, and it looks like we’ll be heading there soon.
