Bethesda already "several years" into Fallout 3

The return of post-apocalyptic-setting RPG series Fallout is eagerly anticipated here in the office, and so we lap up any word from Bethesda on Fallout 3 with big sticky tongues. Ahem.

Anyway, the developer's Pete Hines has been speaking about the sequel in an interview with Gamasutra and, while beans weren't exactly spilled, we were interested to hear that Bethesda is "already several years into the project."

"We are a fairly good ways into the process. The team has ramped up," Hines said, but added that "it will be a little while longer."

We're hopeful that Bethesda will fully unveil Fallout 3 in the next few months, although Hines explained that the developer won't do the grand reveal until there's something there to really get our teeth into.

"As is the case with all of our games, especially those of this scope, we don't really want to talk about them until they are in a state where we can show you, rather than having you simply picturing it in your minds eye", he said.
