This morning, Bethesda released the first teaser-trailer for Fallout: New Vegas. They also confirmed that it would be releasing later this fall. In a year already loaded with releases, hopefully this game doesn’t experience any setbacks.

From the press release,

February 4, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Fallout®: New Vegas™, the next chapter in the critically-acclaimed Fallout franchise, will be available in Fall 2010. The game is currently in development at Obsidian Entertainment for the Xbox 360^® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout® 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor, and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.
