Fallout fans can now revisit the classic isometric RPG style through a new Fallout 2 mod called "Fallout Yesterday." This fan-made project brings to life the original vision for Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios, also known as Van Buren. Set in the American Southwest in 2253, the mod allows players to control a prison and evade robotic guards. "Fallout Yesterday" introduces new items, weapons, traits, perks, and companions, offering a reimagined yet nostalgic experience. While Van Buren was canceled in 2003, Bethesda acquired the Fallout IP and later released Fallout 3 in 2008 with a pivot to action-RPG gameplay. The popularity of the recent Fallout TV show has reignited interest in the franchise, although Bethesda's Todd Howard has stated there are no plans to remake Fallout 1 and 2.
What was Van Buren in the Fallout series?nVan Buren was the codename for the original Fallout 3 project by Black Isle Studios. Set in 2253, the game centered around managing a prison and avoiding robotic guards. It was ultimately canceled in 2003 before being acquired by Bethesda, who released a different Fallout 3 in 2008.
The Fallout series initially started as an isometric RPG. The first game, released in 1997, set the stage for an expansive post-apocalyptic world filled with moral choices and deep lore. Fallout 2, released in 1998, expanded on this with more complex storylines and a larger game world. When Bethesda acquired the rights, the series transitioned to a new format with Fallout 3 (2008), which combined traditional RPG elements with first- and third-person shooter mechanics, significantly broadening the series' audience.
