Released in 2010,Fallout: New Vegasstands out as a landmark entry in the long-running post-apocalyptic franchise. Easily considered by many to be thebestFalloutgame to ever be released, its fantastic story and writing has made it more memorable than the other installments to some, especially when compared to the modern take added to the games since Bethesda took over in 2008. However,Fallout: New Vegashas aged over the past decade or so, and a recently released video shows what the game could look like in a more modern engine.
As spotted by DSO Gaming, footage created by the YouTube channel TeaserPlay shows whatFallout: New Vegasmight look like if it were to be remade today in Unreal Engine 5. As can be imagined, the Mojave Wasteland looks pretty spectacular in this development kit, demonstrating intricate detail as well as some fantastic lighting, as many have come to expect from this engine. It should be pointed out that the video does not represent any remake, official or otherwise, that’s currently being worked on and is just a concept trailer.

If this idea sounds familiar, that’s because TeaserPlay has put out numerous trailers of this ilk. Recently, they released a video showingwhatGrand Theft Auto 3could look like in Unreal Engine 5. They’ve also done concepts forVice City,Assassin’s Creed,Resident Evil 4,Red Dead Revolver, and many more. It’s an interesting project, as not only does it show the potential for reimagining older games in newer toolkits, but it also gives some insight into how advanced gaming technology has come even in a short span of time.
Unreal Engine is one of the most popular game engines in the world, being used in all manner of AAA and independent titles. The latest version was made available not long ago and is being used in the development of a number of anticipated games, such asRedfall, the newLayers of Fear, and CD Projekt Red’s upcomingThe Witchercontinuation.
As for the series itself,Bethesda recently confirmedFallout 5will be made at some point. Admittedly, it’s quite a long way off, as the studio wants to work onThe Elder Scrolls 6first. This means it could be a very long time before a newFalloutentry sees the light of day. Still, videos like the one TeaserPlay has recently put out is a fun experiment in seeing what could happen if a game more than a decade old were to be remade using current technology.
Fallout: New Vegasis available now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
