With Starfield additionally simply across the nook, and builders at Obsidian giving their unofficial blessing to a Fallout New Vegas remake, we’re naturally left to marvel what on scorched, post-apocalyptic earth is occurring.
On March 22, an replace within the Fallout 4 Steam backend added a wide range of file depots all with the identical designation: ‘beta2.’ On April 4, a number of extra depots have been added, this title bearing the extraordinarily tantalising title of ‘newvegas2.’
Within the late hours of April 5, nevertheless, these recordsdata have been swiftly eliminated – it’s as if Bethesda, or doubtlessly another curiosity with management over the Fallout 4 Steam archive, arrived, made a bit of nod and a wink, after which promptly vanished once more.
