Bethesda has officially confirmed that remasters of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are currently in active development. The announcement came via a social media post on July 17, 2026, where the studio shared an update on its future projects.
While fans have speculated about potential modern versions of these PS3-era RPGs for some time, this is the first official acknowledgment from the developer. In their statement, Bethesda noted: "We also know many players want to revisit previous Fallout experiences. While we're not announcing any dates today, we have been working on remasters for both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas."
Development and Future Projects
The studio has not yet confirmed whether these remasters are being handled in-house or are being led by an external partner. For context, Bethesda previously worked with Virtuos on the Oblivion remaster for PS5 last year.
In addition to the news regarding the classic titles, Bethesda confirmed that Obsidian is currently working on a brand-new, standalone Fallout game. This update is part of a broader look at the developer's roadmap for the coming years.
Player Impact
For players who have been unable to access these titles on modern PlayStation hardware, this confirmation marks the end of a long wait to see these RPGs brought to the PS5. The news follows a period of persistent rumors and community requests for the titles to be updated for current-generation systems.
Bethesda has not provided a release window for either the remasters or the new project, stating that they are not ready to share dates at this time.
