For one, when The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was about half a year out, it started to leak. This hasn’t really happened yet with Fallout 3 Remastered. There have been reports, but they have been scarce in comparison, and there hasn’t been any word of it being released anytime soon, unlike the Oblivion remaster reports, all of which said it was imminent. There is also an important contextual timeline to consider.
The Timeline
Some may assume the development time on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was a quick turnaround, given how suddenly it appeared. This isn’t the case, though. It was in development for four years. Fallout 3 Remastered is a similar game in scope and ambition, so it will presumably have a similar development cycle. So, the question is, when did it begin development? If it didn’t begin development until The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was released, then this would put it in 2029. That said, it is unclear if Bethesda is using Virtuos Studios again. And even if it is, Virtuos Studios is a massive studio that could have had more than one team working on these projects. If so, it could be coming sooner, but right now all signs point to this project being a ways off still.
