Bethesda Softworks announce agreement with Interplay to develop and publish Fallout 3…

Long suffering Fallout fans can today mark this date in their calendars, as confirmation comes that the â??on-offâ? Fallout 3 will finally be completed and released under an agreement between Bethesda Softworks and Interplay.

Under the terms of the agreement, the creator behind the legendary Elder Scrolls series will develop and publish Fallout 3, having licensed the rights from Interplay Entertainment. The agreement grants Bethesda exclusive worldwide rights to the Fallout franchise on the PC, home consoles, handhelds, and other media, with the option to develop and publish additional sequels.

â??Weâ??re extremely excited about this opportunity and what it means both for Bethesda and for Fallout fans around the world,â? said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. â??Fallout is one the great RPG franchises. Millions of Fallout games have been sold worldwide, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of a Fallout 3 title. Bethesdaâ??s proven expertise in this genre, building on our experience and the tremendous success we have enjoyed with our cutting-edge Elder Scrolls® series, will enable us to create the next chapter of Fallout that is worthy of the franchise.â?

Itâ??s believed that Bethesda will develop Fallout 3 alongside the next chapter in the Elder Scrolls series under the careful guidance of Todd Howard, who claimed â??We are overjoyed. Fallout is one of my favorite games, and we plan to develop a visually stunning and original game for Fallout 3 with all the hallmarks of a great RPG: player choice, engaging story, and non-linearity.â?

Itâ??s not yet known whether the preliminary work undertaken by Black Isle Studios on Fallout 3 will be used (first screens), or whether Todd and his team plan to start from scratch; weâ??ll have more information soon.

What Next?

Obsidian are doing New Vegas, and the team comprises of many former Black Isle staff who worked on the first two Fallout titles. Fallout: New Vegas was announced back in April - it is NOT Falloout 4!
