The TWISTY roadmap will BLOW your mind. Scroll for the WASTELAND TRUTH! 👇
In a bombshell tweet reply that’s sent the Wasteland into overdrive, Windows Central’s Jez Corden – a Microsoft insider with a sterling track record on Xbox leaks – has all but confirmed that Fallout: New Vegas is getting a remaster. Responding to chatter about a rumored Fallout 3 remaster, Corden simply stated: “Fallout: New Vegas is also getting remastered.” No further details, no fanfare – just a casual drop that’s ignited wild speculation just weeks after The Game Awards and amid Fallout TV Season 2 hype.
The 2010 Obsidian Entertainment masterpiece, published by Bethesda, has long topped fan wishlists for a modern refresh. Praised for its branching narratives, faction wars, and Mojave Desert intrigue, New Vegas sold millions despite launch bugs but was eclipsed by Skyrim‘s shadow. Its endurance – fueled by mods, memes like “Yes Man,” and endless replays – exploded post-Amazon’s 2024 Fallout series, which drew 65 million viewers and spiked sales across the board. Now, with Season 2 eyeing New Vegas ties, insiders whisper Microsoft’s $7.5 billion Bethesda acquisition is accelerating legacy projects to bridge the gap to Fallout 5, slated for post-2030.
Corden’s comment follows VGC journalist Jordan Middler’s July tease on the Friends Per Second podcast: “There are multiple Fallout projects in development, including… the one you’ve all been wanting… but it’s not far enough along.” Middler implied no imminent playables, but paired with Corden, it paints a picture of remasters filling the void. Rumors pinpoint Virtuous – the studio behind the acclaimed Oblivion Remastered – as the developer, blending Unreal Engine 5 visuals over the original Creation Engine for fidelity without overhaul. Expect 4K upgrades, smoother combat (perhaps a run button?), restored cut content, and DLC integration, mirroring Fallout 3‘s rumored 2026 drop.
The leak’s timing stings after Fallout Day 2025’s letdown. Bethesda unveiled a 15th Anniversary Bundle – Ultimate Edition PC code plus Victor statue, pins, patches in a collector’s box – pre-orderable now for 2026 digital delivery. No remaster tease, just merch amid Fallout 4 rehashes, sparking Steam review bombs and cries of “Remaster New Vegas, boss!” from Danny Trejo. Todd Howard later soothed: “Fallout is the franchise that we’re doing the most in right now,” coy on New Vegas or Fallout 3 while hinting “surprises.”
X exploded. Pirat_Nation’s post – screenshots of Corden – racked 1,944 likes: “Fallout: New Vegas Remaster Casually Confirmed By Insider.” Chris Avellone, New Vegas writer, quipped: “maybe a Fallout New Vegas remaster might not be such a great idea after all,” sparking 4,296 likes amid AI fears. Fallout Hub lamented: “Say what you want, but we need Fallout: New Vegas Remaster,” with 567 likes. Optimists hail backward compatibility perks (60FPS on Series X), while skeptics dread “Bethesda-fication.” Reddit’s r/rpg_gamers buzzed: “Bethesda May Be Working On Fallout: New Vegas Remastered.”
Obsidian fans fret: No New Vegas 2 – studio’s locked on Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, Grounded 2. Tim Cain’s return fueled sequel dreams, but he dodged. Virtuous speculation fits: Experts in ports (Metal Gear Solid 3), they’d preserve Obsidian’s soul sans full remake risks. YouTube channels like the “HUGE NEWS” vid claim 2027 launch, post-Fallout 3, with TV synergy.
Bethesda’s playbook – Skyblivion mods, Fallout 4 Next-Gen – suggests Game Pass day-one, multiplatform. Amid Starfield backlash and Elder Scrolls VI wait, remasters buy time. Fan remasters thrive, but official polish promises unmodded bliss.
Polarization reigns: “Peak RPG returns!” vs. “Don’t touch perfection!” As 2025 ends, Corden’s whisper echoes. Will Xbox Showcase 2026 deliver? The Courier awaits – pipe pistol ready.
