Will there be a Fallout: New Vegas remaster? What the developers have said

As one of the best RPGs in history, it's hardly surprising that fans are clamouring for a Fallout: New Vegas remaster.

We're heading there for season 2 of the Fallout TV show, so it would be the perfect time to announce a return, right, Obsidian Entertainment?

Well, for now, here's what you need to know about whether a Fallout: New Vegas remaster is in development.

Will there be a Fallout: New Vegas remaster? What the developers have said

At the time of writing, there is no confirmed news of a Fallout: New Vegas remaster, but that doesn't tell the whole story.

Back in July, VGC journalist Jordan Middler claimed via the Friends Per Second podcast that "there are multiple Fallout projects in development," before adding that this includes "the one that I'm sure you're all wanting."

He does, however, clarify that "it's not far enough along to say anything like 'you're going to be playing this game anytime soon'."

We got a bit more news in November, Bethesda's Todd Howard confirmed that the team was split between Fallout 76 and "some other things," which was later reported to be a Fallout 3 remaster.

Following up on this news, noted Xbox insider Jez Corden alleged in a Tweet that New Vegas "is coming too," although he provided no further details.

He followed up on this in January 2026, stating for Windows Central that, as well as an eventual Fallout 3 remake, we will be getting "Fallout New Vegas on top."

Furthermore, he implies that the remaster will be done by original developers Obsidian, stating, "I'm told Obsidian of Grounded, The Outer Worlds and Fallout New Vegas fame has four new projects, some big some small.

"Fallout co-creator Tim Cain also joined the studio a short while ago. I'm not sure if any of these projects are Fallout-related, but either way, it shows Xbox isn't taking its foot off the pedal when it comes to content."

Unfortunately, that's about all we know about a potential New Vegas remaster, and while both Middler and Corden are reputable sources, it is still worth taking any rumours with a pinch of salt.

As for when the New Vegas remaster could and would arrive, it doesn't appear to be anywhere near release, suggesting a 2027 release – perhaps alongside Fallout season 3?
