JOE

One of the most hotly-anticipated game releases in the world will take place on November 10, with Fallout 4 set to hit shelves.

Arriving five years after the last game in the series, Fallout: New Vegas, the new release from Bethesda Softworks contains stunning graphics and an array of new features.

The collector’s edition of the game will include a new element sure to please hardcore fans – a real-life version of the ‘Pip-Boy’ smartwatch device included in the earlier games in the post-apocalyptic series.

After downloading the Fallout 4 mobile app, players will be able to slot their smartphone into a ‘wearable’ Pip-Boy sleeve and use it as a super-immersive second screen.

“The Pip-Boy is an important part of Fallout and we love it so much we made a real one,” said Todd Howard of Bethesda at a presentation in Los Angeles.

“As far as stupid gimmicks go, this is the best f**king one I’ve ever seen!” he added.

The half-hour presentation also saw fans of the series rewarded with new in-game footage to get them ready for the November release, and you can watch the entire thing here.
