This is what a Fallout game would look like in Unreal Engine 5

Despite how vast the Fallout games typically are and how much there is to do, it seems some fans just want more. Which is perfectly understandable, but instead of tweaking the vanilla releases with extra content, some decide to just straight-up make a different version of the post-apocalyptic series.

As spotted by DSO Gaming, a developer called Milwaukee Games has set about creating their own Fallout. While it’s still in the prototype stages at this point, the project is notable for using the Unreal Engine 5. Check it out below. Ooh. Look at all that shininess!

To clarify: it doesn’t appear to be a remake of any of the current games that are out. It seems like it’s more of a separate entity, but made inside the Fallout universe. Look, there’s a Mr. Handy robot!

Will we get to play this Fallout game?

There’s no way of knowing how far Milwaukee Games will go with this. Whether we’ll see it fleshed out into a full game with an expansive storyline or it’ll be used as a sort of tech demo, it’s hard to say. However, it seems as though the developer may be planning to release a build at some point.

In the YouTube description, as well as mentioning a behind-the-scenes type of video that’s coming, the message asks whether anyone would be interested in testing it. This means that it’s technically “playable,” so there might be a download available at some point in the future.

It should be noted that the footage above was posted back in April, and there don’t appear to have been many updates on the project since. Still, it’s one to keep an eye on in case we do get to play a Fallout game as imagined in Unreal Engine. These are the good times. Possibly.
