Fallout: New Vegas is without a doubt the best Fallout game, so far, and its return has been long overdue.
It’s quite a good time to be a Fallout: New Vegas fan, as the iconic location will return in the upcoming second season of the Fallout TV show, dropping later this year just in time for Christmas.
While it obviously won’t be a one-to-one retelling of New Vegas’ story, some well-known characters and settlements will be featured in the show.
The TV series aside though there’s another New Vegas release on the horizon, Fallout The Roleplaying Game: Royal Flush.

You might have heard of Fallout: The Roleplaying Game before but if you haven’t it’s exactly as it sounds. It’s basically Dungeons & Dragons but set in the Fallout universe, and now it’s getting an expansion.
A teaser for the new expansion reads: “The Mojave isn’t just a desert—it’s a blasted frontier of dust, danger, and stubborn survivors clinging to the bones of the Old World. Out here, every crumbling highway hides secrets, every settlement fights to keep raiders at bay, and every sunrise promises another struggle to survive until nightfall.
“Small settlements don’t last long, but the fortified towns and cities have weathered the dust storms and wars in relative safety behind their walls… though what festers inside their gates can be just as deadly. The Great War may be history, but the Mojave has never stopped being a battlefield.”
Once you’ve obtained the new 240-page quest book you’ll have a new main story to follow with your players, complete with side quests and new origins for your characters.
It’ll also include some of the beloved side activities you could encounter in the game, mainly gambling at the casinos on the New Vegas Strip.
I’ve never tried Fallout: The Roleplaying Game myself but it sounds like good fun, even more so with a New Vegas expansion to go with it.
With all the love it's been getting lately surely Bethesda is weighing up the possibility of a remaster/remake.
A sequel wouldn’t make sense as it’d likely make one of the game’s many endings canonical, which wouldn’t do, but bringing it back in a similar way to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion would be a huge win.
It’ll probably never happen, but the appeal is there and with Fallout 5 likely a good decade away it’d give us our Fallout game fix in the meantime.
