Fallout Anthology launching on September 29 in “mini-nuke” case

id Software's annual Quakecon gathering in Dallas, which kicked off on Thursday, has grown to encompass more than games like Doom and Quake, thanks to parent company Bethesda's involvement. As a result, announcements for other Bethesda series have become common, and in this year's case, that means the announcement of a new Fallout Anthology.

The $49.99 RPG series compendium will launch on September 29 in North America and October 2 in Europe, exclusively for PC, and it will contain thin DVD sleeves for each prior game in the series tucked into a "mini-nuke" case that makes bomb sounds when a button is pressed. Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas will come as their final, DLC-loaded versions ("Game of the Year" and "Ultimate," respectively), while the rest of the package is rounded out with Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. This set is clearly being targeted at fans awaiting November's Fallout 4, as it will contain a slot for fans to tuck that game's physical edition into the nuke.

Should gaming fans want to catch up by buying all five games right now, Bethesda's Quakecon sale on Steam is selling all five games combined for $41.75—meaning the packaging will essentially tack $8.25 onto the digital-only cost (though fans will likely already own at least a few of the prior games, if not all of them). Pre-orders for the physical set have yet to go live.
