Update #3: We heard back from Bethesda
regarding TheSurvivor2299.com. The
publisher declined to comment on this rumor
as per policy.
Update #2: More evidence suggesting that this
website is a hoax has emerged. The domain
resolves to a hosting company in Poland. The
chances of Bethesda using a host outside of
the United States are slim (as you can see on
the BethBlog track-back here ). Credit goes to
Redditor xamphear for the trackback tip off.
Update #1: We've been alerted that the WhoIs
profile does not line up exactly with other
Bethesda-owned websites. Previous websites,
like Bethblog.com, were registered by
Corporate Domains, Inc. TheSurvivor2299 was
registered through GoDaddy. There is a
chance that this is a hoax. We've reached out
to Bethesda to find out if they'll confirm one
way or the other.
Original Story:
This news might make some gamers happier
than the coming of new consoles. Zenimax
Media has registered a new website that
seems to hint at a new Fallout game.
The website, TheSurvivor2299.com, has a
morse code message with a countdown in the
traditional Fallout font. The morse code in the
background translates to 12.11.13.
For now, we’ll just have to keep our fingers
crossed that this does turn out to be the long-
awaited sequel that Fallout fans have been
asking for. We can expect more info in about
a month.
Thanks, Winston!

Our Take
I’m trying not to get my hopes up too high, but
boy does this seem to be Fallout related. A
next-gen (and PC, of course) Fallout title would
be fantastic news. Additionally the two sound
files referenced in the source are named
“Bridgeport” and “Fall River.” These are towns
in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Could Fallout 4 be taking us to the greater metropolitan New York area? As a resident, I sure hope so.
