The sequel to Fallout 2, known as Van Buren, was an ambitious project by Black Isle Studios but was ultimately scrapped in the early 2000s. Although Bethesda acquired the rights and produced a completely different game, nostalgia for Van Buren has not faded.

Currently, modders are transforming the dream of Van Buren into reality within the Fallout: New Vegas engine. The recently released trailer captures the essence of the original concept, featuring elements like an AI-operated prison named Odysseus and a mysterious New Plague affecting the wasteland. Music from Johnny Cash accompanies this teaser, evoking the atmosphere fans adored.
