Video game leaker Tyler McVicker has primarily been known forleaking Valve news, but now he’s decided to expand his horizons. McVicker has announced plans to focus his efforts on leaking news for far more than just Valve games and products, which will apparently include information on the unannouncedFallout: New Vegas 2.
McVicker casually mentionedFallout: New Vegas 2while listing off games that he has “a lot” of information about. Unfortunately, McVicker didn’t expand on what knows about the game. There was also some confusion caused because McVicker mentioned “The Frontier” right after sayingFallout: New Vegas 2, which led some to believe that he was referring to themassiveFallout: New Vegasmodthat was recently released, as opposed to an officialFallout: New Vegas 2.

However, McVicker would clarify in a tweet, stating that he expectsFallout: New Vegas 2’s release date to be somewhere in the second half of this decade. In the same tweet, McVicker mentioned his expectations for some other Bethesda games that are in development, withStarfieldnot coming for “another year or two,“The Elder Scrolls 6not launching until 2026 or 2027, and “anything close toFallout 5” not coming until the 2030s at the earliest.
Microsoft’s acquisition of ZeniMax Media, which includes Bethesda as well as theFalloutfranchise, means that a potentialFallout: New Vegas 2could be developed by Obsidian Entertainment. After all, Obsidian is also under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. However, McVicker doesn’t seem to think that Obsidian will be involved withFallout: New Vegas 2. This would be unfortunate, asObsidian has expressed interest inFallout: New Vegas 2in the past, and the studio’s work on the original game is why so many fans want to see a sequel in the first place.
While McVicker has accurately leaked news in the past, he’s also been incorrect about some things, and so fans should still take all of this with a massive grain of salt. McVicker does not provide any evidence thatFallout: New Vegas 2exists in any capacity, and so it would be best for fans to keep their expectations in check. In the meantime, those anxious for a new game can tryFallout: New Vegas' expansiveFrontiermod, or download aNew VegasHD texture packand replay the game with shinier graphics, as that may be the closest thing fans get to a remaster.
This isn’t the first time McVicker has claimed to leak information for non-Valve games. Previously, McVicker leakedBreath of the Wild 2map informationand expanded on how the game will incorporate longtimeZeldavillain Ganon. McVicker’s reliability when it comes to non-Valve leaks has yet to be proven, however, so it will be interesting to see if any of his claims come true.
Fallout: New Vegas 2has not been announced.
