Today the official Fallout Twitter account, run by developer Bethesda, posted this picture:
"When
#Fallout4 monopolizes family time, you can always bust this out (coming soon!)" they said.
The big surprise here is not that there's going to be a Fallout-themed Monopoly board, but that there wasn't one already. You would know this by one visit to the hobby store, but every single intellectual property with even a slight cult following has its own themed special edition of Monopoly based around it. There's apparently a large section of collectors who look for these, and Hasbro is only too happy to feed their spending habits.
Bethesda did not reveal exactly when this board is being released, but my fake play money would be on some date before 2015 ends. It would make sense to strike right when Fallout 4 hype reaches fever levels.
Those levels will go feverish around November 10, when Fallout 4 is released for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC. The spinoff phone/tablet game Fallout Shelter is available now.
