Let the countdown begin.
Bethesda’s long-awaited Fallout 3 is coming out on October 28, the studio announced today. The release will be “one of the biggest launches of any game this year,” boasts Bethesda president Vlatko Andonov, and will hit all platforms simultaneously. The game will be available in Europe three days later, on Halloween. Which begs the question: Do they even celebrate Halloween in Europe?

“Do they even celebrate Halloween in Europe?”
You’re joking, right? Granted, not so much in continental Europe but considering that’s where it originated…
Anyhoo, looking forward to it!
