The second season of Amazon's Fallout series concluded yesterday, and with it the mystery behind the countdown timer on the show's official website. And as you might expect, it's not led to anything as exciting as some were hoping for.
There was strong speculation online that the countdown would end with the announcement (and in some more hopeful corners, the release) of remasters for either Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas, neither of which transpired yesterday evening. Instead, fans of both the games and show were treated to recreation of one of New Vegas' most iconic locations: the Lucky 38 casino penthouse, home to Robert House, before the bombs dropped.
Like other markers on the map on the official site, this is a simple but interesting interactive look at some of the popular locations from the show, with Vault 33 and Caswennan featuring previously. It's not clear why this location in particular warranted a countdown for several weeks, especially since it's a location that debuted in the show several episodes ago already.
A Fallout 3 remaster has been expected ever since it was rumored in early 2025. A report later in 2025 corroborated that rumor, with more sources indicating that the remaster was in development and would follow a similar format to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which surprise-launched in April 2025. A remaster for Fallout: New Vegas hasn't been included in either report, but has nonetheless become wishful thinking online for those who prefer Obsidian's take on the wasteland.
Regardless of whether we get remasters for either Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas soon, you won't be able to combine the two with one of the best mods out there currently.
