Fallout 4: 12 Most Intriguing Rumours So Far

11. Survivor 2299

Now there is no way that Fallout 4 rumours can be discussed without reference to TheSurvivor2299.com. This website was viewed as being a Bethesda teaser website for some time. There were a couple of coded messages; one which was quickly deciphered on Reddit, the other which was some trickier morse code, but several guesses were suggested by several online sources. It seemed legitimate, as it wasn€™t trying to state that it was Fallout related at all and fans wanted to be believe it. However, it was a complete and utter hoax. Eventually Bethesda announced that the site was a fake and got in touch with the creator, who came out of the woodwork claiming that he was doing it to try to force the company to announce something about the game at VGX 2013. Mind you, it may have slightly backfired as the traffic to the site was estimated to have cost the creator about $900 and when questioned about this he said, €œI'm one of these 'selfish b*****ds with a lot of money€™.€ So nothing on the Survivor website was real at all, and so any rumours about the €œInstitute€ cannot be believed €“ but this would be a good way for Bethesda to hide some real snippets by linking them to the information that fans would now overlook. However, this seems like something particularly unlikely to happen now considering the short timeframe left until E3 2014. Likelihood (of anything reported by the website to be true): 0/10
