'Fallout 4' Release Date: Wasteland-Themed 'Monopoly' Coming Alongside PS4, Xbox One & PC Game
"Fallout 4's" fans will now have another game from the franchise to look forward to. Bethesda confirmed that a new monopoly board game based on the post-apocalyptic video game will come out later this year in time with the title's release date.
The announcement was made on the official Twitter page of "Fallout 4" yesterday.
Accompanying the tweet is an image of the Monopoly cover with Pip-Boy instead of Rich Uncle Pennybags with the title, "Fallout 4 Collector's Edition."
"When #Fallout4 monopolizes family time, you can always bust this out (coming soon!)," wrote the post on Twitter.
Reports of a "Fallout 4"-inspired Monopoly board game first came out when Shack News posted an image of the board game on one of its writer's Instagram account earlier this week.
Ozzie Mejia uploaded an image of the upcoming board game with the caption, "Huh... did not expect Fallout-opoly. #GameStopExpo"
Soon after, the @usaopoly Instagram account left a comment on the photo to say that the game is "gonna turn out great" and to reveal its launch date.
According to @usaopoly, the board game will be available in November as an exclusive deal from Gamestop.
While it's not yet clear whether the "Fallout 4 Monopoly" game will be launch at the same time, the video game comes out on Nov. 11, it is highly probable that the creators in Hasbro toy company will ride on the hype of the title from Bethesda.
IGN reported that the board game will feature locations from the maps of the popular video game franchise. No details have been announced if the objectives of the game have been changed for the said edition too.
In 2013, a "Fallout" fan posted his homemade monopoly edition based on the game in Reddit. User XsimonbelmontX spent eight months crafting a Fallout Monopoly with the standard board game for his wife's birthday present.
Not satisfied with that, he added that they tweaked the way the game is played so that perks and levels can also be included in the game. The gift earned the creator 150+ Husband Skills points.
"Fallout 4 Collector's Edition Monopoly" is not the first time The Parker Brothers collaborated with other video games. Game Spot reported that there were board games versions of "World of Warcraft," "Assassin's Creed" and "Legend of Zelda."
Bethesda's "Fallout 4" will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning Nov. 10 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
