While most players look to the future hoping that Bethesda offers you a fifth installment of the saga fallout, the truth is that there are other users who look nostalgically to the past. So much so that they have set to work to create a remake of Fallout 2 and it is not just any fan project.
As Damion Daponte, project leader, tells The Gamer, they currently have more than 100 developers giving everything so that the objective is met. He assures that they are making “rapid progress” with the production and that is why they have shown a new preview in the form of a comparative trailer with respect to the original Interplay work.
Project Arroyo (as the work carried out is known) is being built through the Fallout 4 engine and the team's idea is to launch the work on the Valve platform. “I'm inclined to do what he did Enderal: Forgotten Stories and put it on Steam. It's just a platform that everyone has. It's easier to access, easier to update, easier to install. It's just more efficient,” Daponte relates, using a great Skyrim mod as a reference.
However, it must be taken into account that the best way to publish the remake of Fallout 2 It is without conflicting with the intellectual property rights that Bethesda owns. “We would have to find out all the details with [Steam]so that It is necessary to have Fallout 2 and Fallout 4 and all their DLC to obtain it and make sure there are no legal problems. But we'll see, we're still investigating. “Personally, I lean toward Steam,” says the creative.
If possible, it is also possible that compatibility with Steam Deck could be created, but it is still a distant goal. “Maybe, we'll see. To be honest, I don't even know if mods work well on Steam Deck. I would have to ask my friends,” Daponte tells the outlet. For now, there is no estimated release date.
