Bethesda Wins Rights for Fallout MMO

We talked a bit last week about the ongoing legal struggle between Bethesda and Interplay, but here’s  a quick rundown if you missed it: When Bethesda bought the rights to Fallout, the contract stipulated that Interplay would be allowed to develop an MMO in the game’s universe, assuming they could get it finished quickly enough. The MMO never came around, and both companies have been battling for the rights to the game ever since.

A settlement was announced, but the details were kept under wraps until now. Thanks to a press release from Bethesda, we now know exactly what went down behind closed courtroom doors. The company has paid roughly $2 million to Interplay, and in return has earned all rights to the Fallout franchise. This means if Bethesda wants to develop a Fallout MMO, they’re now free to do so.


Both companies are responsible for their own legal fees, and Bethesda noted that they’re happy to be free to develop future Fallout games – perhaps this is more than mere legal shuffling, and Bethesda already has something in mind.


In the meantime, one thing is for sure: the next Fallout game will have the Bethesda logo stamped on it.


Would you play a Fallout MMO?

With Bethesda's reputation for buggy single player releases, noticeable bugs too! I'm left skeptical as to how well of a job of an mmo they could do? They are all ready challenged by developing there massive single player games and can't debug them very well. The mmo community will be far less for giving when it comes to bugs in a game.

For those of us dearly hoping interplay will get on with descent 4, I think his might be good news.

Bethesda are awesome and all and I guess its a nice win, but they have no intention of making a Fallout MMO. At least if it stayed with Interplay we would've eventually seen it.

Bad move in my opinion. Im reaching the end of fallout 3 and its definately put me off from purchasing any games from this company again. The constant bugs, graphical glitches and audio losses just puts me off. I have never experienced anything so buggy before, especially Fallout 3 being the first and only game Ive played on this generation's consoles. Yes in times its enjoyable, but it gets ruined by the poor quality of the game. After seeing how many games Bestheda churns out every few months, you can see its just the money they are after, not customer satisfaction
