Fallout 4 Update Branch Fuels Speculation About Fallout: New Vegas Sequel
A new branch for Fallout 4‘s backend, going by the development title of newvegas2, has spurred the franchise’s fanbase into believing that a possible sequel for cult-classic Fallout: New Vegas is in the works. The new branch can be spotted on SteamDB after a recent update, as caught by GameSpot.
Bethesda has since quickly deleted references to newvegas2, fuelling quite a bit of speculation in the community. However, it is worth noting that Bethesda hasn’t made any actual announcement regarding a sequel to Fallout: New Vegas, and the branch popping up as an update for Fallout 4 could more simply indicate just a DLC featuring items from Fallout: New Vegas.
Fallout 4 is slated to get updated to take advantage of the improved hardware on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 some time in 2023. Originally having been released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, the game also got an update with a frame rate boost on Xbox Series X/S.
Fallout 4 was originally released in November 2015, and was quite successful, making $750 million in the first 24 hours of its release. It has also seen a fair number of DLC releases, including Far Harbor and Nuka World.
