The massive Fallout: Nuevo Mexico mod for the role-playing game Fallout: New Vegas, after several months of turbulent development, received its first new gameplay trailer in a long time.

The events of Fallout: Nuevo Mexico should unfold five years after the ending of the first Fallout. The three-minute trailer takes viewers to Mexico City, the largest location of the modification.
Once the fiery heart of a vast metropolis, Mexico City now lies in ruins, a battleground for factions fighting for dominance and survival. As it stands, the city is a “mesmerizing mixture of beauty and brutality.”
The video shows the landscapes of the Mexican wasteland accompanied by Latin American music of the 50s. The gameplay footage is accompanied by a speech from the leader of the local cartel about survival in the current circumstances.
Fans greeted the new Fallout: Nuevo Mexico trailer with delight and undisguised relief: production had to be suspended for several months in 2024 due to personal problems of the lead modder, but work continued in August.
The Fallout: Nuevo Mexico team notes that the project is far from finished, and the published video is intended to give viewers an idea of what the team ultimately wants to achieve. Release dates have not been announced.
In addition to the Mexican setting, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico promises much of what modern games in the series lack (like traditional RPG elements and an emphasis on player decisions), an original soundtrack and character voice acting.
