January 5 eagle eyes Fallout fans noticed a strange icon on Amazon Prime Fallout Season 2 website. The “Explorer” tab on the website, which allows fans to explore interactive 3D versions of locations from the live show, now displays a padlock symbol in the upper right of the page with a countdown attached. The countdown is set to end on February 4, day Fallout The season 2 finale will air.

User X @Fallout5out challenged well-known industry expert Nate The Hate (who claimed Fallout 3 remaster was real several times throughout 2025) to weigh in on the discussion in the replies to the post, to which he replied: “Fallout 3 Remaster is a planned release, yes. I'm not sure if there will be a window for it though.”

The first is the confirmed Xbox Developer_Direct, which should go live sometime this month. Alternatively, the expected Xbox summer show would also be a good place to announce these rumored projects.
