The game Fallout 2 has recently held a new wave of interest thanks to the popularity of the Fallout series from Amazon. A team of enthusiasts is creating a remake of Fallout 2 in the style and engine of Bethesda games and aims to release it on Steam.
In a recent interview with The Gamer, Demion Daponte, a freelance video editor leading the team of developers at Project Arroyo consisting of over 100 modders, revealed some details about the project. The team is attempting to remake the second installment of the series into a modern open-world role-playing game on the Fallout 4 engine. Since the original game was not large enough, the team will also expand the world and offer a shortened version of San Francisco for exploration.
The fan remake will also revamp some of the original mechanics, such as random encounters that seem unnecessary to them, bring back the classic Pip-Boy and some elements from New Vegas to expand the view on the New California Republic. Power armor from Fallout 4 will also return - the developer believes that the way it functions makes more sense compared to the versions in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Although the release date of Fallout 2 Project Arroyo is not yet known, there is a high probability that the fan-created remake will be released on Steam. "It's just a platform that everyone has, it's easier to access, easier to update, easier to install the game - it's more efficient. We would need to determine all the specifics to have Fallout 2 and Fallout. 4 and all the DLC of the latter to make sure there are no legal issues, but we are still considering it." More information about the Fallout 2 remake can be found on Discord.
