Today we talk about Fallout Online. This was a work in progress Fallout spinoff by Masthead Studios under Interplay. The project was creating a multiplayer Fallout game. It was eventually shut down by Bethesda Softworks, but now with some speculating Bethesda Game Studios may announce a new Fallout Online at their coming 2018 E3 Conference I look at what the past Fallout Online had to offer and what happened to it.
