Fallout Hopium: Bethesda Teases Remasters of 3 and New Vegas

The Fallout Universe Expands

So, what happens when a beloved video game series gets its own hit TV show? If you’re Bethesda, you might just think about sprucing up some classics like Fallout 3 and New Vegas! With Fallout 5 still hiding in the distant future, what better way to keep the Fallout fan base buzzing than by remastering some of the old gems? It appears fans are holding their breath for at least one remaster since speculation has been running wild lately.

A Sneaky Hint or Just Hopium?

The big question on everyone’s mind is: when will we hear the official word? Fallout enthusiasts are practically camping outside their game consoles, eagerly wishing for an announcement. Recently, a new advertisement surfaced, starring Aaron Moten—yes, the guy who plays Maximus in the Fallout TV series. In this quirky ad, he ends up in a chaotic apartment with the Vault Boy. Why? Because nothing says “we might have a remaster” quite like a messy living space!

During this epic encounter, Aaron casually asks Vault Boy about the clutter, and in typical Fallout fashion, the response pops up in the game’s signature dialogue style—that’s right, it’s Fallout 3! Coincidence? We think not! Naturally, this has sent fans into a frenzy with theories that Bethesda is dropping hints about a Fallout 3 remaster right before our eyes.

But hold onto your Nuka Colas; the speculation doesn’t stop there! The duo reminisces about their adventures in the wasteland, which are showcased through some flashbacks from Fallout 76 (sorry, let’s not dwell on that just yet) and a bittersweet encounter with a super mutant in the ruins of Washington D.C., the very setting of Fallout 3. If this isn’t setting the stage for something exciting, what is?

While it’s easy to jump to conclusions that we’re on the brink of a Fallout 3 remaster, part of us also wonders if this is just another advertisement trying to promote Bethesda’s whole Fallout lineup. After all, what better way to dig into nostalgia than revisiting some iconic moments? Either way, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little hopium; after all, we all want to hand over some caps to Bethesda before we kick the bucket!

In the closing moments of the ad, there’s a sweet little moment where Aaron starts laughing, which honestly just warms the heart. Fingers crossed that this isn’t just a pipe dream and that Bethesda has something massive lined up for us. Until then, stay tuned for more Fallout shenanigans!
