Fallout 4 was a no show during the last Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show, disappointing several fanboys who have expected at least a gameplay trailer.

With no explicit confirmation from the game developer Bethseda, rumor mills had to double time with gathering information on the release date and other details of the video game.

Buzzes around the Internet pointed to one event where Bethesda could unleash Fallout 4 – Gamescon 2014 in Germany.

The Exhibitor's Listing revealed that Bethesda will be a part of this yearly affair.

The other event that could be the possible avenue of an official announcement of Fallout 4 is the Tokyo Game Show that will take place in Mihama-ku, Chiba, Japan.

Tokyo Game Show is a four-day event happening on September 18 to 21, where the last two days are open for public.

There are around 1,600 booths that will be set-up within the venue and the organizers are expecting at least 220,000 participants.

One of the biggest series in gaming history, it has been six years since the last Fallout installment hit the industry.

Fallout 3: New Vegas received great reviews from critics and players alike, a Forbes article citing it to be "the best sandbox video gaming experience ever" in 2008.

"Character creation, leveling up, the karma system (are you a good fallout survivor or a bad fallout survivor?), and combat are all exactly as they should be. The combat system punishes you for making bad decisions, like getting surprised or surrounded, letting your weapons rust, or running into the open without cover," said the author.

Earlier this year, Bethesda launched The Elder Scrolls Online for Mac and Windows, and Wolfenstein: The New Order for PlayStation systems and Xbox consoles.

Aside from reports of Fallout 4, the video game developer and publisher is presently working on future releases such as The Evil Within, The Elder Scrolls Online for PlayStation and Xbox, Battlecry, Doom 4 and Prey 2.
