Fallout 4 launch trailer prepares you for PS4’s most anticipated RPG of 2015

The official launch trailer for Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG, Fallout 4, is now available for your viewing pleasure ahead of its release on November 10.

Check it out below.

Fallout 4 is due out on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, with game’s file size confirmed to weigh in slightly smaller on Sony’s console compared to the Xbox One release. Those of you who want to start you Boston-based adventure as soon as the game launches will be glad to know that Fallout 4 supports pre-loading, so get downloading while you have time. Bethesda has also confirmed that the PS4 version of the action-RPG will run at a steady 30fps, while PlayStation Vita owners will be able to take Fallout 4 on the road thanks to Remote Play support.

Fallout 4 takes place in Boston, U.S., some 200 years after a nuclear war devastated the country, and like Fallout 3, players will emerge from the confines of the Vault to a post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by feral creatures and other hazards. Fallout 4 utilizes the Creation Engine, which was previously responsible for powering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on last-generation consoles, though it has been modified for new hardware. 

Unlike previous entries in the Fallout franchise, this latest title will include full voice acting for the player character, the ‘Sole Survivor,’ and feature branching dialogue paths similar to the Mass Effect series. The main character will be voiced by Brian T. Delaney and Courtenay Taylor for the male and female version of the Sole Survivor, respectively. Players will be joined in Fallout 4 by a canine companion named Dogmeat, and will also have the ability to build and deconstruct settlements and buildings throughout the game world. The game will also receive extensive post-launch support and has more lines of dialogue than Fallout 3 and Skyrim.
