Bethesda Cannot Make Any More Fallout 4 Collector's Editions

By NDTV Correspondent | Updated: 29 July 2015 19:37 IST

After a stunning reveal, a comprehensive E3 presentation, and a November 10 release date, Fallout 4 seems to be shaping up as one of the more anticipated releases of the year. Much like previous entries in the series, Fallout 4 has a slick collector's edition in the form of the Pip-Boy Edition. Not only do you get a copy of the game, poster, and a collectible metal case, but also a life-size working Pip-Boy.

While slimmer, smaller wearables are all the rage, the Pip-Boy is what happens if the Apple Watch was out in the 1950s and was made to withstand a nuclear apocalypse.

Speaking to Gamespot at Quakecon, Bethesda Vice President of Marketing, Pete Hines said that the company has made all the Pip-Boys it can for this special edition and they're all sold out too.

""We reached a point where we'd go back to the factories and they were like, 'guys, this is it, sorry. This is as long as we can run the lines and as many of them as we can make.'"

"They're being made today, it's not like they're done and sitting in a warehouse. [The factories would tell us,] this is what the yields say. I mean, we don't make [the Pip-Boy Editions], and we'd go back to [the factories] and say, 'Demand for this is insane, we've got to make more.' And they'd move other projects off or shift stuff to other factories and it just came to [them telling Bethesda], 'Final answer: sorry, this is as many as we can make.' And we sold every single one of those that we could."

Hines also told Gamespot that Bethesda had ordered a lot of Pip-Boy Editions--so many, in fact, that it eclipsed all other Bethesda limited editions released in the past. "We made a s**tload of Pip-Boys, and we went back and made more, and went back and made more. I keep seeing stuff about, 'Oh, you only did a few thousand.' No--we did a ton of these things. I think we did more of these things than we did for any collector's edition we've ever done, ever."

While there's no clarity if this would hit India, one thing is for sure, whoever managed to order it has their hands on a verified collectible.
