Let us recall that the Fallout 3 remaster, along with the updated version of Oblivion, appeared in the schedule of upcoming game releases from Bethesda Softworks, which was included in Microsoft’s court documents, the previous fall.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is expected to be released next week, while there is still no re-release of Fallout 3 on the horizon. Insider Nate the Hate commented on the situation.

Answering a question from social network user X about the fate of the updated Fallout 3, Nate the Hate confirmed Bethesda’s plans for a remaster, but warned that they would have to be patient: “It will be a while before we see it.”

The schedule mentioned had the Oblivion remaster scheduled for fiscal year 2022, and the Fallout 3 remaster scheduled for fiscal year 2024. If the gap between the projects remains unchanged, then the latter would have to wait until 2027.

It’s possible that Microsoft will want to rush Bethesda to release a Fallout 3 remaster to coincide with the premiere of the second season of the Fallout series, which is not expected to start until 2026.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered recently appeared on the website of the developer studio Virtuos. According to the leak, the release will take place on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, as well as Game Pass.
