Fallout 4 update: There's no stopping Bethesda's gaming expansion

Fallout 4's release continues to get bigger and bigger for Bethesda

FALLOUT 4's release isn't far off but that hasn't stopped Bethesda's own gaming ambitions to expand the franchise.

 

Fallout 4 is due for release November 10 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC and it looks like the franchise could be expanded further.

Fallout Shelter, a mobile game where you tasked with building and maintaining a society underground as the all-seeing Overseer, has proven to be a huge success, something that looks to have Bethesda to look in other areas.

According to the game's official Fallout Twitter account, A Fallout-themed Monopoly is coming soon.

A Bethesda spokesperson has since confirmed the news, while a teaser picture was posted online to accompany the message.

Monopoly: Fallout Collector's Edition will be released in November, according to recent reports and will coincide with the launch of the PS4, PC and Xbox One title.

The Monopoly set will features locations from all the games in the series and is set to be a GameStop exclusive in the US.

It'll be surprising to hear that fans will have much time to play Monopoly when Fallout 4 is released, as the game is set to have an incredible amount of gameplay hours attached.

400+ hours has been mooted as how much time could be sunk into the game without find everything, while it's very likely the game will also include several DLC offerings after launch, sometime in 2016.

 

Pete Hines, Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing, recently spoke more of the general tone of the game and how the bleakness of Fallout 3's Capital Wasteland won't be repeated in Boston.

"Whereas in Fallout 3 you had a little bit of the bleak and the feeling of hopelessness, and the main quest had to do with trying to restore some hope to it," he said.

"This game has gone past that, and it’s levelled out.”
