Fallout: New Vegas to be distributed by Namco Bandai in Europe
Namco Bandai has announced it is to distribute Fallout: New Vegas in Europe.
The spin-off, being made at Obsidian, is to be distributed in the Benelux and Nordic regions, as well as France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and more.
“Working closely with Bethesda Softworks we are thrilled to be involved with the Fallout brand and help launch this exciting and richly deep game,” said Namco Bandai’s VP of 3rd parties, Alberto González Lorca.
“We are pleased to be teaming up with Namco Bandai Partners to distribute one of our flagship titles. Fallout: New Vegas builds upon the immersive gaming experience that made Fallout 3 the 2008 Game of the Year,” further added Sean Brennan, managing director of ZeniMax Europe.
As for who is distributing it in the UK, that’ll be Bethesda, as confirmed to VG247 today. It distributes and publishes all its titles in the UK, and this one is no exception.
New Vegas is due this year for PS3, 360 and PC. It’ll be revealed in the next issue of OXM on February 11.
Thanks, GI.

Weren’t we supposed to have had a “big reveal” of this by now? I could’ve sworn some mag or other was promising the ‘EXCLUSIVE!!1″ weeks ago…

This doesn’t make any sense. Zenimax/Bethesda must have the cash to publish this themselves, and on the back of Fallout 3 it’s hardly a risk.
Something’s not right about the deal, but I can’t work out what.

Apparently the game will be using the same engine as Fallout 3 and also have the same Elder Scroll-ish mechanics.
Namco Bandai also said that the game should be out this year.

It’s probably just Bethesda not having the infrastructure to distribute across europe?

Edited the story a bit.
Obviously, I got my wires crossed about it. Sorry.
