Bethesda Moving Forward with Fallout VR

At this year’s E3 conference, Bethesda announced that it was planning to bring Fallout 4 to the HTC Vive virtual reality headset. Following a less than stellar demo at the event, the studio has fallen quiet regarding Fallout VR. However, in a recent interview with Glixel, Bethesda director and executive producer Todd Howard insists that work is continuing with Fallout VR and will be “every bit as cool as you hope it would be.”

“We definitely are [remaking Fallout 4 for VR],” Howard said. “That’s the promise of VR, being in a big virtual world. The core experience, meaning you put on the headset and you’re standing in the world of Fallout and can go where you want, just that little bit is every bit as cool as you hope it would be. Once we did that, we were like, “OK, we gotta see where this goes.”

“We’re not so worried about how many we’re going to sell or what the market is,” he added. “That will all sort itself out. We have an opportunity to make something really unique. We’d rather do that than make some other tiny experience. I don’t think that’s what people want from us.”

Howard also confirmed that Bethesda had just finished optimising Fallout 4 for Sony’s new console, the PlayStation 4 Pro. Fallout VR has not yet been slated for release.
