Fallout 4 news Pip-Boy Edition powering Bethesda title to unprecedented levels of interest

Fallout 4 news this week includes the success of Bethesda's Pip-Boy Edition

FALLOUT 4 news coming in this week could point to the highly-anticipated Bethesda title being one of the top-selling games of 2015.

 

Bethesda have already confirmed that the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition - which cost £99.99 - pre-orders have reached their limit, meaning the studio are unable to make anymore for fans.

The bundle itself includes a wearable Pip-Boy replica, which comes with a Robco Industries stand, custom-printed capsule and working knobs and lights, a Pip-Boy Pocket Guide, Vault-Tec Perk Poster, and a collectible metal case.

The Pip-Boy Edition sold out fast in the UK

The Pipboy is also compatible with the official companion mobile app that allows players to manage their in-game inventory, perks and holotapes.

The Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition pre-orders themselves sold out twice in the space of the same week, the second time within two minutes of reopening at UK retailer, GAME.

And it looks like the Special Edition could be just another master-stroke in Bethesda's strategy of marketing the post-apocalyptic roleplaying epic to fans and possibly making it 2015's top selling title.

Charlotte Knight, UK Retail MD at GAME, has revealed more on the 'unprecedented levels of interest' surrounding Fallout 4 from fans, which is set for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on November 10, 2015.

 

“Following the exciting announcements at E3 this year, we have seen pre-order numbers spike with customers eager to get their hands on some amazing GAME exclusives," Knight commented.

"This is no truer than with the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition where we saw truly unprecedented levels of interest. The bundle, which was available only at GAME, was our fastest selling pre order to date and sold out twice –  in a record two minutes the second time around.

“This next chapter in the franchise is set to be the most ambitious yet and GAME’s special edition including the replica Pip-Boy device is offering fans yet another way to make the gaming experience more immersive and engaging.

“With some amazing launches in the pipeline, we can’t wait for September to roll around. We have some exciting community events coming up plus plans and offers that will launch each new game with a bang. Fallout will be no exception so watch this space.”
