While Fallout fans have E3 2014 as their remaining hope for Fallout 4 to be announced, it turns out that game will not be launched at the annual gaming event this June. It may take another while for any hint regarding the sequel to Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3.

Marketing Executive Pete Hines of Bethesda Game Studios tweeted that there will be no talks about their company's next game for a while. However, Hines did not discard any idea that Bethesda is working on it, which many people in the gaming industry speculate.

Hines explained they want people not to anticipate on an announcement to happen soon. His statement clearly suggests that the game will not be announced in the upcoming E3 event as Bethesda usually does not rush things. If Fallout 4 is indeed in the works, E3 is too early and unfit for an announcement.

This makes clearer that it must be Doom 4 that Amazon UK has put as a placeholder for a Bethesda title, which reads "Bethesda E3 2014 Dummy" for PS3, PC, Wii, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita with a tentative release for December 31, 2014.

Lead Designer Josh Sawyer of Fallout: New Vegas said in a Eurogamer interview, he anticipates Fallout 4 will have more choice-making and decisions as "Fallout is best when the choices are best. " Sawyer added Fallout need to be challenging for the players to love it.

Rumors have it that Fallout 4 will be set in Boston, Massachusetts, most likely at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The 2008 Fallout 3 settings are Washington DC, Maryland and Pittsburgh. Obsidian-developed Fallout follow up New Vegas in 2010 is in a future Nevada.
