ZeniMax Shuts Down Fan-Made Fallout: New York Browser Game
A fan-made browser game titled Fallout: New York was shut down after Bethesda's parent company ZeniMax Media became aware of the project.
ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, has shut down a fan-made browser game titled Fallout: New York after becoming aware of the project. The game was created by X user chrisfirst and coded using Claude Opus 5.5.
The shutdown removes one of the more unusual fan projects to surface around the Fallout series, a browser-based take on the post-apocalyptic setting that had no official connection to Bethesda or ZeniMax.
For fans looking for official Fallout content, Fallout 76 and Prime Video's Fallout TV adaptation are currently available. Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, remains a fan favorite entry in the series.
Bethesda and Obsidian are in early development on a new Fallout game, though no release details have been shared. The Elder Scrolls 6 is seemingly Bethesda's next game.
Starfield and Avowed were not the most highly adored or successful games by their respective developers, which may shape how fans view the studios' upcoming projects.
