Information about a new Fallout game has surfaced through a strange product page on Amazon. Bethesda has apparently set up placeholders to prepare for a new product. There is a countdown, but for what?
Three different placeholders for a new Fallout product appeared on Amazon. These have since disappeared and had no images. A related countdown led many to speculate on a Fallout product, even though the countdown was stock material, not Fallout-specific representations.
The placeholders on Amazon appeared for all current platforms: PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There were three versions available:
- Standard
- Deluxe
- Collector’s
Each edition was priced at $59.99 and dated for December 31, 2019, a placeholder date. Neither the price nor the date is likely to reflect the final product, but serve only as a dummy.
The title is already trending: The unique aspect of this placeholder is that it even appeared in Amazon’s bestsellers, despite being visible for only a short time before it was removed.
According to PCGamer, this may be due to players pre-ordering before the price is inflated. This way, they ensure that they only pay a maximum of $60 when the game is released. This ensures Amazon’s model.
Fans speculate about what it could be
That a new Fallout title is appearing shortly after the release of Fallout 76 is rather unlikely. Especially since Bethesda recently released a major roadmap for Fallout 76 in 2019.
Many fans therefore estimate that a remake or remaster will be released, perhaps of Fallout 3 or New Vegas, which are already several years old. Bethesda has already given away the earlier parts of the Fallout series.
Other fans of the series are discussing on reddit, where they are throwing out some rather unserious suggestions:
- Fallout 77, whose associated Vault 77 contains a single person with dozens of dolls
- Fallout: The Card Game
- Fallout Shelter 2
- Fallout: Battle Royale
However, many fans seem to be so disappointed with Fallout 76 that they have little real hope for a new game. What Bethesda will actually do with the placeholder remains to be seen.
What do you think? Will there be a new Fallout game and if so, what kind?
To warm up for the new title, you can take another look at the old parts:
