Todd Howard has once again set off alarms in the Fallout community (and we’re not saying that because of the new controllers). In a new interview prior to the second season of the TV series, the director of Bethesda Game Studios was directly asked about the remasters and remakes that fans have been craving. His response was cautious, but suggestive enough to spark speculation.

Without mentioning specific games, Howard assured that the studio is “working on a lot of things” and that they are very careful when deciding how and when to present these projects. According to him, their intention is to talk about them only when they are really close to being released to the public, an approach that recalls the surprise launches that Bethesda has used in the past.

Although the interviewer directly mentioned Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, Howard didn’t want to go into details. Still, his words have rekindled the rumors that have been circulating for years, especially after the massive leak of Bethesda’s internal calendar, which included a Fallout 3 remake. Additionally, rumors about a new version of New Vegas have been constant since the franchise returned to the center of the debate thanks to the Amazon series.

The community also remembers what happened earlier this year with Oblivion Remastered, a launch that materialized almost out of the blue despite months of prior speculation. With this precedent, Howard hints that Bethesda might repeat the move with a Fallout game. A measured response, but enough to make fans raise an eyebrow again: remasters might be closer than they seem.
