A 20-minute video shows a few of the assets that were cut fromFallout 4, with some of the content looking like it could have been interesting had it stayed in. This is not really something unusual, asBethesda has removed content from its games in the past. In fact, it’s a very common practice in the industry, as often there are things the developer is unable to polish for the final product, perhaps due to time constraints or certain things just not working out.
AlthoughFallout 4is a celebrated entry in the long-running RPG franchise, many fans considerFallout: New Vegasto be the superior game. The former definitely has a lot going for it, though, with critics praising the world exploration and crafting mechanics. The game itself is already pretty huge, with enough content to keep players engaged for hours, but some may wonder what was left on the cutting floor and whether the addition of removed assets could have made a difference to the experience.

In a recent video uploaded to the Alternative Gaming Channel, some cut content fromFallout 4has been displayed, giving an overview of just how much didn’t make it into the 2015 release. Among other things, there’s some dialogue that didn’t make it in, including a sarcastic response players could choose when confronting the synth during the recovery mission at Libertalia. There are also some cut characters from Vault 118, including some Mr. Handy robots, and there was even the possibility the Institute could have revived the player’s partner and bring them back as a synth.
On top of that, there’s also some footage of an enormous 300-foot ghoul which looks as though it would have been found at the Glowing Sea. Sadly, it had to be cut due to technical difficulties, according to the narrator. TheFalloutgames are known for their ghouls, and while there are some friendly ghoul NPCs, there are also the feral types that attack. However, having a gigantic one in the game would have been many magnitudes more terrifying, probably more so than any Deathclaw.
While the game’s been out for a while, fans can look forward toFallout 4coming to Xbox Series consoles and PS5, which should be dropping sometime in 2023. Bethesda also confirmed thatFallout 5is in development. However, with the studio working onStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6as well, no one really knows when the next entry in the post-apocalyptic series will see the light of day.
Fallout 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development.
