The last few years have been a pretty great time to be a Fallout fan, what with Amazon's acclaimed Fallout TV show renewing interest in Bethesda's long-running RPG franchise and breathing new life into its most recent titles, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. Older games like Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas have benefitted from the renaissance, too.
One particularly exciting revelation that came as Fallout Season 2 aired earlier this year was the news that there are official Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters on the way, with the overhauled versions of these games reportedly "in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered." That suggests that like the 2025 remaster, these ones will use Unreal Engine 5 for a fresh coat of modern graphical paint, with Bethesda's original Gamebryo engine still used for gameplay mechanics, physics, and other systems.
