Fallout 4 trademarks filed by Bethesda

4.7
The Fallout 4 rumour train is in full locomotion again. We hadn't heard much since Three Dog's voice actor made some interesting comments, until a couple of developments this week gave the metaphorical Fallout-anticipation nuke another wobble.

As spotted by the denizens of NeoGAF, the good folk of the Fallout section of Gamepedia have noticed that Bethesda Softworks have this week registered a trademark for Fallout 4, covering a range of things including merchandising and clothing but most pertinently to us - games.
Of course, companies register trademarks all of the time to protect their intellectual property rights, but as Gamepedia notes, there were four months between the registering of the Fallout New Vegas trademark and Bethesda revealing the first teaser trailer.

Speculation has also been compounded when earlier this week a countdown clock appeared at thesurvivor2299.com - the users of Reddit later traced this website to a relatively unknown Polish developer, so we don't think it's actually official, but it's hard to deny the timing of this is certainly interesting.

At this point it definitely seems like they will be going ahead and making another one. I'm looking forward to it

CRM Anyone know a specific date?


Well considering they haven't even released a teaser, no one really knows.

It'll probably release though near the end of 2014 or early 2015.

Breading Hopefully this will revive fallout as new vegas was terrible


How can you say New Vegas was terrible? New Vegas was awesome. So many factions and choices it was just so hard to choose. It had almost twice as many quests as Fallout 3.


Fallout NV was simply boring compared to Fallout 3. Mainly because the game took place in a desert... However Fallout NV was pretty fun at first. The whole fight for Hoover Dam shouldve been a side quest (like how Skyrim made the war a side quest) and made the whole Ulysses the main quest.

Oh well. Im glad to see Fallout 4 is about to be launch next year. I hope they don't pull a GTA on us and make us wait til 2016. lol

Oh and it will most likely be on next gen only. Why would they waste time developing for the current-about-tobe-old gen consoles?


I hope they take as long as they want with their game so it doesn't end up terrible like these games that have been coming out every single year which get really boring.


They can't take too long or people will lose interest in Fallout. I think it will come up next year or 2015. Why? Well they been developing the game for about 2-3 years now. Plus if they release a teaser then they are prolly adding the extra features, quests etc... So it shouldnt take too long..

Can't wait for this game. I'll be on PC by then so the mods should be stellar :D

doges This game will be coming out in Fall of 2014, i just know it


No it won't. the battlefront teaser came out in June of this year and is expected sometime mid 2015. When Fallout 4 is teased, it will probably be a pretty long wait until it comes out.

NDSU Ooh so this will be for both Xbox One and PS4? Right.


Most likely, we get to see those sweet next gen graphics.
