Fan-Made Fallout 2 Remake 'Project Arroyo' Gains Momentum with Over 100 Team Members

The ambitious fan-made remake of Fallout 2, titled Project Arroyo, has significantly accelerated its development pace, thanks to the efforts of over 100 dedicated team members. Demion Dapon, the project lead, shared this exciting update in an interview with PCGamer. The remake is set to be released as a mod for Fallout 4, utilizing the advanced features of the Creation Engine, which has powered Bethesda games since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Dapon also revealed that the development team is considering releasing Project Arroyo on Steam. This approach mirrors the successful release strategy used for the Enderal: Forgotten Stories mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. However, before launching on Steam, the team intends to thoroughly vet the mod for any content that could potentially lead to legal issues. One potential solution being explored is to restrict access to the mod to users who own both Fallout 2 and Fallout 4.

Additionally, the developers are contemplating making the mod available for the Steam Deck, expanding its accessibility to a broader audience of gaming enthusiasts.

The modding team recently released a trailer showcasing Project Arroyo, highlighting the impressive work done to bring the classic Fallout 2 experience into the modern gaming era with the Creation Engine. In previous updates, they have also shared comparison videos, juxtaposing the new mod with the original game to illustrate the enhancements and improvements made.

The dedication and collaboration of this large team of modders promise an exciting future for fans eagerly awaiting this fan-made remake of a beloved classic.
