Fallout 3: Van Buren companions would have changed the game world
Fallout fans got a fascinating look at what might have been thanks to a recent presentation from Van Buren designer Chris Avellone.
Before Fallout went to live with Bethesda, it was Interplay's baby. The developer had big plans for a third entry, which it codenamed Van Buren, before the company fell on hard times.
Speaking at the NYU Game Center's Practice 2015 conference, as reported by Polygon, Avellone gave some insight into the cancelled project - which still fascinates long-time series fans today.
