James is a gaming writer from London who has spent thousands of hours exploring titles from every genre. Though he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2 and League of Legends, he has also put thousands of hours into single-player experiences, from deep RPGs to epic PC strategies. When he's not playing or writing, he can usually be found supporting his beloved Brentford FC.
The arrival of the Fallout TV adaptation on Prime Video did a lot to resurrect positivity around the franchise and bring in a whole raft of new fans who now want to see everything the games and wider experiences have to offer.
We know we're not getting a sequel for a long while yet, with almost all of Bethesda's attention focused on getting The Elder Scrolls VI out as soon as possible. That leaves the older games to go back to and enjoy, most of which hold up pretty well if you give them the chance.
If you want the most modern experience, then Fallout 4 is probably for you. Outright, savage and unending bleakness? Fallout 3 is the obvious choice. If you're simply looking for the best of the bunch, then a lot of the community would probably point to New Vegas. If the latter is a personal favorite, there is a new physical version launching soon that will likely be well worth your consideration.
Fallout: New Vegas Is Back This June
Bethesda EntertainmentOver on the Bethesda Gear website, you can find the store listing for the Fallout: New Vegas 15th Anniversary Bundle, a pretty unique collectors edition that is now estimated to be shipping in June, meaning if you order now, you shouldn't have too long to wait to get your hands on it.
As well as the Ultimate Edition of Fallout: New Vegas (redeemed via digital code on PC, and which includes all of the DLCs), the 15th Anniversary Bundle also includes an 8" PVC Victor statue, a 7x7 cardstock set of Doc Mitchell's Evaluation Cards, a Vault Boy Enamel Pin, a Mojave Express Patch, an NCR Recon Patch, and a Collector’s Big Box designed to be displayed in your abode.
The game codes will be distributed at the same time as the physical items, so you may want to be aware of that if you were hoping to play ASAP with one purchase. The bundle is priced at $154.99/£139.99/€160, so it's not an insignificant purchase, but it is a pretty cool way to mark the birthday of a very good game.
What's Going On With Fallout 5?
Bethesda EntertainmentAs mentioned earlier, we are likely a long way away from being able to play the next game in the Fallout series. Even if they are already putting heavy amounts of work into it (which is unlikely with the status of TESVI), there's little chance of it being released before 2030, if then.
