Were you (among the many) let down byÂFallout 76? Are you wishing you were in the good ol’ÂFalloutÂdays–specificallyÂFallout: New Vegas? Well you’re in luck – theÂFallout 4Âmod project that is adding inNew VegasÂis around the corner. TitledÂFallout 4 New Vegas, the development team of modders isrecreating and remasteringÂNew VegasÂwithin theÂFallout 4Âengine. Even better, a pack of new screenshots from the development team showcase some familiar-looking desert landscapes with brand new fidelity.Seen in the Twitter post below, theÂFallout 4 New VegasÂteam wants to kick off 2020 right with introducing some of the work they have been tinkering on.

As you can see, the introduction of theÂFallout 4Âengine and components does wonders in adding some realization to the world. As a quick point of comparison, you can check out the photo below of what the originalÂFallout: New Vegaslooked like on the limited tech from last generation:
This is to say that we are working with a clearly talented development team, and it will be interesting to see how this project continues to emerge.
Additionally, theÂFallout 4 New VegasÂteam used these posts as a springboard to address some questions about the project from the community. When asked if DLC from the original game would be supported, the team responded that there are currently no plans until the full mod is released. When asked by another gamer if the mod will be a direct port or will layer in improvements, the team clarified that they will be making some unannounced “changes to fit in seamlessly alongside the base [NewVegas] content.”
This is far from the only time that mods recreatingÂFallout: New VegasÂhas been attempted by the active community. This includes a prequel to the game,ÂNew Californian, that hasbeen in beta since June 2019. In more officialÂFalloutÂnews, the Bethesda development teams have jumped from crisis to crisis in the last few months – includingthe disastrous announcementof theFallout 1stsubscription service ora recent bout of hackers.
There is no current set release date for whenÂFallout 4 New VegasÂwill be deploying, but we do know it will be limited to the PC. If you want to scratch your postapocalyptic itch, bothÂFallout4ÂandÂ76Âare available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Or, you canjust pick upÂThe Outer Worlds, but I don’t want to tell you what to do.
