Fallout 4 speculation spun up again today with news of a German trademark filing for something called Fallout: Shadow of Boston. Made on October 25 and dug up by NeoGAF, it covers "computer game discs; downloadable computer game programs; [and] computer games program downloaded via the internet."
The filing falls in line with reports from late last year, when leaked documents indicated that the next Fallout will be set in and around Boston. The purported script in that case referred to The Institute, which arose from the ashes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as the Commonwealth-Fallout's name for the remains of Massachusetts-and the Commonwealth Minutemen. Unfortunately, this filing, like the previous one associated with the brilliantly good thesurvivor2099.com hoax, is false. Bethesda disavowed the filing on Twitter, writing, "The German trademark filing that's making the rounds is a hoax. This didn't come from our offices." |
