In 2010, Bethesda Game Studios and Obsidian Entertainment, which was composed of a few old employees from Black Isle Studios, created Fallout: New Vegas, which incorporated a number of elements from Van Buren, such as the NCR and the Hoover Dam.Īpart from the tech demo and several design documents, little else of the original game has been released. Screenshots of a tech demo for the game were released on No Mutants Allowed on April 30th, 2007, and on May 2nd, a full tech demo was released.

While Van Buren was seemingly completely thrown out, design documents for the game were leaked by Fallout fansite No Mutants Allowed in 2005, containing almost every detail about the design of the game. Upon acquiring the rights, Bethesda decided to remake the game from scratch, using neither any of the old code nor mimicking its gameplay and converted it into a first/third-person ARPG with a completely different plot. a compilation of footage taken from the work Black Isle Studios had completed on Van Buren (the code name for Fallout 3), before they lost the rights to.
