While Bethesda Softworks, which owns the rights to the 'Fallout' franchise, has confirmed that 'Fallout 4' is already in the works, they have not yet specified a release date.

Even though fans are eager and excited about the news of an upcoming fourth addition to the series, there is no official release date as of yet. However, rumor has it that the game will be announced early next year.

Other reports take it one step further and claim that the title should be available for purchase by the end of 2015.

Previously, there were rumors that 'Fallout 4' would be announced at a PAX East event in August 2014, but that did not happen. While some fans think that the announcement for the game has been delayed, others feel that there will be no 'Fallout' 4 at all.

Setting all that aside, a recent informant stirred up some controversy as he or she posted some information on Reddit about 'Fallout 4'. What's more is that he or she claimed to know the relation officer of Bethesda, and got the 'Fallout 4' details from the source.

The informant posted, "First and foremost, the game will take place in Boston, and be kind of a direct sequel to Fallout 3 with a few groups returning. From what it sounds like, "The Institute" is pretty much the downtown DC or New Vegas of this game. Boston is going to be unlike anything we've seen in a Fallout game before, with buildings more on par with cyberpunk and retro-futurism."

As far as the storyline of 'Fallout 4' is concerned, the informant wrote, "Androids have a major role in this game. The railroad from Fallout 3 is a faction. The enemies of the railroad are 'the Plantation' - a group who force Androids to farm so that Humans can get food. The Institute is highly advanced and probably obtained or built their personal GECK to start a farm."

Lastly the post read, "Due to complaints about using Super Mutants and the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3 excessively and going against the lore too much, Bethesda has decided to avoid using these groups. Bethesda wants to make a new 'race' (think Ghoul, Super Mutant) which will be central to Boston. Bethesda is currently looking at Lovecraftian fiction since Boston is around 'Lovecraft Country'."

However, it's wise to take the information with a grain of salt as this information has not been confirmed by Bethesda.

In regards to 'Fallout 4' release date, Cyberland reported that the title will tentatively be released in Fall 2015 and now speculations are high that the much-anticipated game will be launched in October 2015.
