is Fallout: New Vegas 2 in the Works? Fallout 4's "Newvegas2" Depot Sparks Speculation
A recent SteamDB update to Fallout 4 has sparked rumors and speculation among Fallout fans. The update added a new repository called "newvegas2," which has many people wondering what it means.
history
Bethesda is known for teasing new games and content with hidden clues and Easter eggs in their existing games. For example, there was a hidden message in Fallout 4 that teased the upcoming release of Fallout 76. So the new depot could be a foreshadowing of what's to come in the Fallout universe.
Another possibility is that the new depot contains content from Fallout 4 that was imported from New Vegas. This would be similar to how the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4 contained elements from the previous game, Fallout 3.
new vegas
Fallout: New Vegas was a Fallout series spin-off developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda in 2010. The game received critical acclaim for its storytelling and role-playing mechanics, and it is still regarded as one of the best games in the franchise by many.
Given the success of Fallout: New Vegas, it's no surprise that fans are hoping for a sequel or remake. However, keep in mind that this could simply be a placeholder name for something else entirely.
beta2
The "beta2" repository discovered in the same update is most likely related to Fallout 4's previously announced next-gen update. The update is expected to bring significant visual improvements to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game, such as increased draw distances, improved lighting, and enhanced textures.
suprising
Bethesda has not yet revealed a release date for the next-gen update, but it's expected to be available later this year. As for "newvegas2," fans will have to wait for an official announcement or confirmation from Bethesda to know for sure.
Even if "newvegas2" turns out to be nothing more than a placeholder name, the discovery of the repository has sparked fan excitement and discussions about the future of the Fallout franchise. Anything is possible given Bethesda's track record of surprising and unexpected announcements.
Update
The depots have since been removed (Aprox 24 h later)
