Fallout 3 survivors may soon be traveling back to the Capital Wasteland if a new leak is to be believed. Here’s everything we know about the rumored Fallout 3 remaster.

Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s first foray into the nuclear wasteland that is the Fallout series after they purchased the rights to the series. Using the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine, the game re-created the Capital Wasteland for a new generation and the success of this new style of Fallout games then spawned Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76.

Now, a leak suggests that a Fallout 3 remaster will be released in 2024. The leak has already got some things wrong, but it might be an out-of-date plan for the Xbox timetable, meaning it could have an element of truth. Here’s everything we know about a possible Fallout 3 remaster on current systems.
