As if the impressive number of Steam concurrent players and Bethesda's own announcement of 4 million players are not enough to consolidate its blow, Elder Scrolls IV: Forgot to remake Now after just one week of sale, it is now the third best-selling game in the United States in 2025.

With this success, it seems inevitable that there will be more Bethesda games to be remade, most of which hint at Fallout 3 (It was leaked in 2023) or Fallout: Next is the new Vegas.
If it is indeed the next game, what should players expect? Bruce Nesmith, one of the designers of Fallout 3, Has pointed out the “bad” gun battle for Fallout 3He expects Bethesda to improve significantly for the remake.

“I know in Fallout 4, there's a lot of work done in gunfights because Fallout 3 is their first attempt at making a shooter-like game. And, I think the work done is amazing.”
Developed by remake experts with Unreal Engine 5, the Oblivion Relivion Remaster has a long visual and functional improvement. As you would expect, it runs at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second, but other changes make more sense.

Some of them think that forgetting remakes will be described more accurately as a remake. But Bethesda Already explained why it went along the remake route.
Nesmith said Fallout 3 fixes could include improvements and changes to similar lines to the forgetful remake.
“(Fallout 3 fight) didn't stick with the shooter at the time,” he said. “Also, this is an RPG shooter, it's not a running shooter. But, for Fallout 4, a lot of work was done in that. So, I'd like to see a lot of work that would be in there, assuming they're doing the same.”
“Forgeting is not just the 2011 version of Skyrim,” he added. “This at least looks beyond Skyrim's latest graphic update,” Nesmith said. The Elder Scrolls IV: The impressive remake of Forgotten can be called “Forgotten 2.0”.
