New Fallout game revealed ahead of E3 2019: Bethesda's best game gets a sequel – sort of (Pic: BETHESDA)
The most successful Bethesda game ever is getting a sequel.
Thing is, the sequel only appears to be releasing in the Chinese market – at least, that's what we can see so far from Bethesda.
Trailers and gameplay footage are starting to surface detailing this new Fallout game, but – if Bethesda's messaging is correct – we won't get to play it in the West. It's a strange situation, but the best explanation of it we've seen so far can be found over at JuiceHead's Youtube channel.
The sequel to Fallout Shelter seems to be based mostly on the original game, but with a more social focus: there's a more robust overworld map, better customisation, and PvP elements to boot.
The game, named Fallout Shelter Online, will allow players to join guilds and engage in 5-on-5 firefights with opponents, or go raiding dungeons in the overworld with your crew.
The development team will even be introducing a PvE element to the game so that there's more to see and do in the newly expanded overworld. Quests can be completed for bonus experience and items.
Thanks to the big new changes in this game, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was more of a Fallout mainline release than a spin-off. Considering the bad rep Fallout 76 got at launch and the player dropoff it's seen, we sense a lot of people will want to get their hands on this game… but is that going to be likely?
For the time being… no.
The only official communication we can see about the game from Bethesda is from a tweet that came out in August last year. Pete Hines, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Comms at Bethesda, replied to a question about the game, saying it's “developed in China, for China”.
Apparently, the main game is going to launch in June – E3 month. Could we possibly see Bethesda 'do an Apple' and stealth launch it during its conference? Stranger things have happened.
