Fallout fans have been alerted by the change Bethesda has made to Fallout Files Fallout 4 on Steam, where there is a branch called “newvegas2‘, which immediately makes one think of the possible arrival of Fallout: New Vegas 2.
The new branch was introduced on April 4, 2023, as previously noted SteamDB It appears to have been removed the next day. What could that mean? In theory, Bethesda could test something. The next generation version of the game may have been announced. However, the choice to use “newvegas2” as the name seemed odd, and of course there was no shortage of speculation.
The most likely hypothesis remains the one already mentioned, that it’s something to do with the update for next-gen consoles and PC, but it’s inevitable that someone will immediately start talking about an expansion or side-project made with the same graphic engine, updated with the news that it will be Included in the new version of the game.
Something similar actually happened prior to the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, with offshoots that referenced previous seasons of the series, notably Morrowind and Oblivion.
So another hypothesis is that the new Fallout 4 update includes a Creation Club pack similar to the one in the last version of Skyrim, with mods inspired by New Vegas.
