The team behind its creation is working on a complete overhaul of New Vegas via the Fallout 4 Creation Engine.The content will remain the same, though. Every voice, every character, every quest, and every plotline stays the same. Still, the team is adding content Bethesda, and Obsidian removed from the original game.Moreover, the mod is adding a complete cast of new characters, factions, quests, mutated creatures, and the kind of events you’d see on Fallout 4.Give these people a job at Bethesda, please. Or, at Obsidian…Microsoft?Either way, Fallout fanatics have been aware of the mod for a while. The developers released the reveal trailer on December 2018.

Great job, F4NV team!
How are they creating the mod?
The team is recreating the entire Fallout: New Vegas game through the Creation Engine 2.0. It’s the 3D game engine that powers Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4. Hence, we can expect the same graphical quality levels, which still looks great after five years.Bethesda Game Studios also provided the team with some extra software to draw and animate the Mojave Wasteland. That’s why the group says the location will be more immersive than ever. Weather, creatures, and NPCs will all play a part in a dynamic game world.More importantly, it’s going to look, play, and sound just like Fallout 4. Even the Pip-Boy is the same.Here’s the first video the developers published:
How faithful is Fallout 4: New Vegas?
Because of Bethesda’s support, the developers are also adding some exciting changes. For example, they opened new areas of the New Vegas strip so the player can experience the world like never before.The team also fueled the last conflict on the Hoover Dam to make it more challenging and explosive.The developers also explain they added better shooter controls, gorgeous graphics, and additional mod support. They are creating Fallout 4: New Vegas as a faithful remake with quality of live improvements to appeal to both long-time fans and newcomers.However, the team won’t be able to recreate the entire game to perfection:
The future of the mod: when will it release?
Currently, there’s no release date. We can only imagine how much work it requires to recreate an entire game with another engine than initially intended.For anyone worried about the future of the project, the new gameplay trailer was worth the wait. Previous Fallout 4: New Vegas clips showcased a single game scene or a single game mechanic. Yet, yesterday’s clip revealed many locations, weapons, enemies, and such.There’s still one thing that’s missing from the trailer. For all the bloodshed and radioactive guts we’ve seen, there’s still no companions. More importantly, our New Vegas character is not petting any dogs in the trailer!Be that as it may, you can bring your own ideas to the team. If you want to join the developers and animate the dog yourself, you can fill an application on their site. There’re many talents they are looking for, even voice actors.
