Bethesda’s next major remaster could be Fallout 3, according to a recent claim by insider NateTheHate2. Responding to a fan’s question on social media, the informer revealed that development on a remastered version of the post-apocalyptic RPG is underway, though a release is still far off.

The first whispers of Fallout 3 Remastered emerged in 2023, when documents from Microsoft—published during their legal battle with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission—mentioned plans for remakes of both Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion . While Oblivion Remastered is expected to launch soon, details about an updated version of Fallout 3 have remained scarce, with no official announcement from Bethesda yet.

NateTheHate2 refrained from providing specific timelines but confirmed that the project is actively in development. He speculated that Bethesda might release the remaster before the next mainline Fallout title, which is reportedly not entering production until after the release of The Elder Scrolls VI. This suggests players could see the remastered version of Fallout 3 sometime in the near future, though it remains unclear exactly when.

The original Fallout 3, released in 2008, is widely regarded as a groundbreaking entry in Bethesda’s catalog, praised for its immersive world-building and engaging gameplay. A remastered edition would likely bring significant visual upgrades, modernized mechanics, and enhanced performance, appealing to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
