Fallout: Bakersfield is a fan-made mod of the 1990s original that's been on our radar for a few years. We got a little teaser ">back in 2022, but it's been radio silence since then. Now there's an ">actual trailer filled with gameplay footage and it looks pretty nifty.
Developer Alexander "Red888guns" Berezin is the brains behind the project and he used the GZDoom engine to recreate the ghoul city of Necropolis from Fallout 1 as an FPS that resembles the newer games. The art style is pretty incredible in this trailer and looks to be a highlight of the project. Take a look for yourself.
This doesn't look like a full mod of the entire game, as that would be quite the undertaking. Rather, it reimagines the Necropolis section. The trailer ends with a confrontation with the boss of that zone, indicating the mod will be a retelling of the sequence, and not a reimagining of the whole game. This reminds me of the first installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake that was entirely set in Midgar.
Unfortunately, we have some time to wait before we get our hands on this mod. The trailer indicates a release date in 2027. There's also the Bethesda-sized elephant in the room. Who knows if the company's lawyers will go on a letter-writing spree to get this project shut down.
Really been pushing Alexander to make sure we've got a living, breathing, retro-futuristic (but sometimes seedy) world for NB RPG. That means a lot of flying cars.#ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev pic.twitter.com/gMUiQhVQ1Y

This is a side gig for developer Berezin, as he's also working on New Blood's Fallout-style throwback RPG. We don't know when that one's coming out.
