New listings from McFarlane Toys explicitly reference a 'Fallout 3 Remastered' figure, suggesting the project may launch this summer. The seven-inch T-45B Nuka Cola power armour toy has a potential release date of August 31, aligning with expectations for the game's announcement. Bethesda has not commented on the ongoing speculation.
Rumours surrounding a remaster of Fallout 3, the 2008 Bethesda Game Studios RPG, continue to circulate following recent discoveries in merchandise listings. McFarlane Toys, known for its reliable previews of upcoming products, has listed an 'ELITE EDITION 7IN – FALLOUT 3 REMASTERED – #13 T-45B NUKA COLA' figure on retailer sites including Brodepot. This seven-inch figure depicts the T-45B power armour, a signature element from the game's cover art, potentially featuring Nuka Cola customisation.
Multiple online stores are now accepting pre-orders for the toy, with release windows set for July or August. One listing specifies August 31 as the expected date. Toy News International notes that such distributor listings 'generally turn out to be true,' often serving as early indicators for collectors. Reddit users have described McFarlane Toys as an 'S tier leaker' based on its track record.
Bethesda and Xbox have declined to comment on the Fallout 3 remaster rumours, which have persisted despite a recent teaser that instead promoted the next season of the Fallout TV show. The speculation draws parallels to leaks preceding the confirmed remaster of Assassin's Creed Black Flag, which also involved premium figures.
The success of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has bolstered expectations for similar projects. Bethesda Game Studios director Tom Mustaine recently implied openness to more surprise releases, stating in an interview with GamesRadar: 'It is an interesting strategy… I don’t have any ideas of what would be next, but I hope it’s not the last.' He added that Todd Howard, the studio's 'boss man,' has long favoured shadow drops, which propelled Oblivion Remastered to top sales charts upon launch.
While a summer release remains unconfirmed, the toy's branding leaves little ambiguity about its tie to a refreshed Fallout 3. Separate rumours suggest additional Fallout projects, including a potential New Vegas remaster, though details are scarce.
