Interplay's Back!

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Interplay has re-emerged onto the gaming scene with the official relaunch of their website. But with their relaunch comes news that they have still been working on their Fallout MMO (currently entitled "Project V13") that they talked about in the past.

Interplay had sold the rights to the Fallout franchise to Bethesda when they encountered financial troubles, but they kept the rights to an online Fallout game.

Interplay started in 1983 and is responsible for many games over the years including Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Earthworm Jim and Clayfighter.

Fallout 3!!!

That's right, I put in three exclamation points! That's how excited I get about the next installment of Fallout. I loved Fallout and Fallout 2. I even enjoyed Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Of course, they were no Fallout or Fallout 2, but I love post apocolyptic worlds. The Fallout world captures this beautifully.



Anyway, here's a recap of all the info so far: Yes, it is being created by Bethesda. Bethesda also owns the rights to create Fallout 4 & 5. When is it coming out? I have no idea. Bethesda actually finalized their rights to it in 2004 but apparently weren't concentrating too heavily on it until Oblivion came out.

Liam Neeson will do some voice work for Fallout 3. New screenshots were released today. And a trailer will be out in June(possibly the 5th).
