Fallout: New Vegas remaster reportedly in the works alongside Fallout 3

In the wake of last year’s highly-successful The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, we began to hear an increasing number of leaks and rumours suggesting that Fallout 3 would be next in line to receive such a treatment. Though yet to be officially confirmed, insiders have claimed that not only is Fallout 3 set to get a remaster, but the much-loved New Vegas too.

As claimed by known Xbox insider Jez Corden via Windows Central, “we are eventually getting a Fallout 3 remake in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.”

This far from surprising given both the success of Oblivion Remastered and the fact that a Fallout 3 remaster was leaked by Microsoft themselves back in 2023. What is more interesting however is that according to Corden the much-loved Fallout: New Vegas is also set to receive a similar treatment.

While Fallout 3 has plenty of fans, New Vegas in particular has come to be known as one of the best RPGs of all time and so it getting a remaster in particular would be exciting indeed.

That said, while the Oblivion remaster was received warmly, it suffers from plenty of performance issues owing in part to its Unreal Engine 5 layer. Assuming Fallout 3 and New Vegas will be handled in the same way, here’s to hoping that more time is dedicated to making the experience a smooth one – though this might be asking too much from Bethesda.
