Bethesda has announced Fallout Legacy, a bundle compiling the definitive editions of all the mainline Fallout games. The only catch is that it's coming to the UK and Germany only. Legacy contains Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, and Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition. One notable exclusion, however, is the most recent game in the series, Fallout 76.
The PC-only collection launches on October 25, but Bethesda did not offer any explanation as to why it's only coming to the UK and Germany. A previous bundle, titled Fallout Anthology, contained many of the above games but excluded Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition. A price has not been announced for the latest collection, but it was leaked by Amazon Germany before its reveal with the price of €40. The mainline Fallout series has enjoyed critical acclaim. Our verdict on the most recent mainline title awarded it a 9/10. "In the grand scheme of things, Fallout 4's minor issues pale in comparison to its successes," wrote Peter Brown. "When you put the controller down, you think about the friend you betrayed to benefit another, the shifting tide of an incredible battle, or the moment you opened a drawer and found someone's discarded effects, making you wonder how they felt before the bombs fell. In moments like these, Fallout 4 can be an intoxicating experience. You're often forced to sacrifice something--a relationship, a lucrative opportunity, or your health--to make gains elsewhere. And the deeper down the rabbit hole you go, the more you wonder: what if I chose a different path? You second guess yourself, not just because you had other options, but because you aren't sure if you did the right thing. The fact that your decisions stick with you after walking away from the game is a testament to the great storytelling on hand. Fallout 4 is an argument for substance over style, and an excellent addition to the revered open-world series." Read more in our full Fallout 4 review.
