Fallout: New Vegas News

Joseph Wilson, better known to many as Elder Scrolls and Fallout YouTuber Mitten Squad, has died aged just 27, and fellow members of the Bethesda community are paying tribute to him.

News of Wilson’s passing broke via an obituary for him posted on the website of Michigan funeral director, Molnar Funeral Home, with some initial confusion arising due to the fact Wilson often referred to himself by the name Paul in his videos. As of writing, his channel, which mainly revolved around interesting challenge runs through the likes of Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Skyrim, has just over 1.4 million subscribers.

A number of fellow creators from the Elder Scrolls and Fallout communities have taken to social media in order to pay their respects to Wilson and discuss the impact his work had on them. “RIP Mitten Squad, you were a huge inspiration to me, and it was great getting to know you as much as I have,” wrote TKs-Mantis.

Fallout New Vegas is an incredible game with one major caveat; it remains one of the more buggy and technically troubled entries in the whole Fallout series. So the idea of taking one of the best open-world games and remaking it in Bethesda's more modern Creation Engine, the home of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, is very exciting. Well, there's been a team hard at work doing exactly that to Fallout New Vegas for over five years, and they just gave us a high-energy new update that feels rather fitting ahead of the Starfield release date.

Fallout vaults are unusual. On the surface, they're basically sophisticated bomb shelters designed to help US citizens survive the eponymous fallout of the 2077 war. But if you've played Fallout 3, New Vegas, or Fallout 4 - or the classic isometric RPG games from Interplay and Obsidian - you know that the vault's creator, Vault-Tec, is up to something more sinister. Now, Tim Cain, co-creator of the original Fallout way back in 1997, shares the true, original meaning behind the vaults.

A new Fallout 4 Steam update includes mention of a 'New Vegas 2,' but is then quickly changed and removed, as the Bethesda RPG game heads towards the launch of its upcoming next-gen version, and we ponder the possibility of a Fallout 5 release date. With Starfield also just around the corner, and developers at Obsidian giving their unofficial blessing to a Fallout New Vegas remake, we're naturally left to wonder what on scorched, post-apocalyptic earth is going on.

Following a Fallout 4 update on Steam, fans have noticed — and are now bewildered by — the appearance of ‘New Vegas 2’ in the update, via SteamDB. Not long after, this particular branch was removed, although, it is still visible on SteamDB.

This isn’t exactly unusual. It wouldn’t come as a surprise that Fallout 4 is gearing up for new content, especially with Fallout 4’s next-gen update arriving later this year. That said, this particular branch, and its removal, hasn’t stopped Fallout fans from theorising all the possibilities of what ‘New Vegas 2’ might mean. After all, New Vegas does have a die-hard fan base out there, and can you blame them? Fallout: New Vegas is perhaps the best Fallout game of them all.

While the simplest answer is that Bethesda are perhaps planning some New Vegas-themed content for Fallout 4, more specifically a Creation Club pack, it’s nice to pretend, and hope, that a New Vegas sequel or remaster could be coming. There is, after all, every chance that Bethesda could remaster the brilliant RPG from Obsidian in Fallout 4’s engine, or even release a New Vegas-themed DLC for Fallout 4. The chances of it actually happening, however, with Starfield around the corner and The Elder Scrolls 6 being in pre-production, appear slim.
