Fallout: New Vegas Pre Orders “Outstripping Those Of Fallout 3”

Bethesda has told MCV that pre-orders of Fallout: New Vegas are more than that of Fallout 3’s.

“Fallout: New Vegas pre-orders are far outstripping those of Fallout 3,” said Bethesda’s EU director, Sarah Seaby. “Based on the feedback from gamers, we anticipate fans will enjoy returning to the Fallout universe, where they will experience a new story in an exciting New Vegas setting.

“While players will find Fallout: New Vegas very familiar due to the similar control scheme found in Fallout 3, they’ll also find that the developers over at Obsidian have made a number of refinements after taking a look at fan feedback.

“We’re looking forward to when the game launches across Europe on October 22nd.”

Fallout: New Vegas releases on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 19 2010 (USA) and October 22 2010 (EU).
