Bethesda Officially Announces ‘Fallout 4’

Briefly: Yesterday, an ominous countdown appeared on Bethesda’s official Fallout website. We weren’t entirely sure if, when the countdown expired, we’d see the announcement of a new Fallout game, or if the publisher would simply tease us until E3 in a couple of weeks.

Well, Bethesda just saved us a ton of frustration, and essentially made us cream out pants in excitement, by revealing Fallout 4 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One today.

Bethesda notes that you can tune into their E3 Showcase on Sunday, June 14th at 7:00pm PT to see the world premiere of the game.

The cinematic trailer confirms that Fallout 4 takes place in the Commonwealth that we’ve heard so much about in previous games. This is, of course, the game’s version of Massachusetts.

Now, Fallout 3 is one of the few open world games that I’ve ever truly enjoyed (and I couldn’t put it down), and as such, I really, really, couldn’t be more excited for this. Judging from everything we’ve heard since the countdown went live yesterday, it sounds like most of you feel the same way.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you’d like to see in Fallout 4.
