On Reddit, fans flocked toask, “what happened toFallout: Nuevo Mexico?”
The only answer that came their way was from someone who claimed to be one of the voice actors; they said, “As someone who was a part of the team as a VA, no clue. Everything just sorta disappeared overnight.”
“I wanted to share an update about [Nuevo Mexico project lead] Zapshock and themodprojectFallout: Nuevo México," the statement reads.

“The project has been on hold for some time, and Zapshock has decided to step back from active participation in the community. For now, Zapshock won’t be available on Discord or any social media platforms.”
Nowhere does this Discord post say that the project has been cancelled. However, while other members of the team are still there, we have no idea what state the expansion is in.
Given how abrupt this departure was, it’s understandable that the team is struggling to find their footing as they attempt to move forward.
We hope this suspension of work doesn’t last much longer, however, we’ll be quietly keeping our hopes low now that we’ve learnt of this dramatic behind the scenes change.
