Fallout Was Sold, Not Saved | The Rise and Fall of Interplay
Everyone knows Bethesda saved the Fallout franchise, right? That’s where you’re mistaken.
Fallout was a successful series years before the IP was ever for sale. So how did one of the biggest publishers in the industry (Interplay) rise and fall despite having such a successful franchise?
Let’s look at the questionable business practices that caused the fall of Interplay and Black Isle Studios, And what led to the cancellation of anticipated titles like Fallout 3 (aka Fallout: Van Buren) and the original Baldur’s Gate III: The Black Hound.
This is a one-hour deep dive into the drama surrounding Fallout, BioWare, Interplay, Titus Interactive’s buyout, Snowblind Software and the fight over Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, Fallout’s development and the controversial sale of this IP to Bethesda Softworks.
I hope you enjoy this deep dive into the fascinating and tumultuous history of Fallout!
