AFallout 2remake is on the way and the creators behind it are dropping plenty of tidbits that have us excited to venture back into the wasteland once more.

This fan-made remake of the classic RPG will completely overhaul the original and bring it from the realms of 2D into a fully-fledged 3D experience which will include an open world.

If you’re wondering where to start with the Fallout games, we’ve got you covered.

According to the creators, we won’t only get an open world to explore, but we’ll also have a chance to wear the power armour fromFallout 4as the developer prefers the uses of this armour compared toFallout 3.

It’s noted that some textures and models will be pulled fromFallout: New Vegastoo. This will bring a familiar style to theFalloutwasteland of the New California Republic.

From watching the trailer it appears that the team is trying to match the original game as much as possible. Things like random enemy encounters will be removed, but much of the scenery has been recreated in 3D models.

It’s great to see this much love and attention shown to a classic that has withstood the test of time but may get overlooked due to its retro visuals and gameplay mechanics.

There’s no definitive release date for this project as yet, however, the team is targeting a release for Steam to ensure everyone has the chance to play it.
