Shameless plug incoming...I have been locked into Bethesda's Fallout 3 on the PC for a couple days now and I have to admit that this game is almost my game of the year. Well, the World of Warcraft expansion is due out on November 13, so that might consume most of my time--but as of right now, Fallout 3 is an exceptional game and you must purchase it today!

1up is reporting that Bethesda has revealed the official release dates for Fallout 3: October 28 in North America, and October 31 for Europe.

"We are very excited to let gamers get their hands on Fallout 3, the latest chapter in this beloved and highly acclaimed franchise," Bethesda President Vlatko Andonov said about the release. "To meet the huge demand for this title by our fans worldwide, we are planning one of the biggest launches of any game released this year."

As the successor to one of PC gaming's most legendary franchises, the game should be one of the most popular of the year, and it had a strong showing at this year's E3 event, where it won "Best RPG" awards from various gaming outlets. It'll be available for PC, 360, and PS3.

Remember that Elder Scrolls Online rumor that recently surfaced? It's back, now that ZeniMax Online (a development studio created by ZeniMax Media Inc, which is the parent company of Bethesda Softworks) has announced that it has acquired the rights to use Simutronics' HeroEngine, which is designed specifically for crafting MMO titles.

ZeniMax Online was launched on August 1 of this year with the intention of focusing on the MMO market, so the company's use of the HeroEngine definitely makes sense. As for what MMO the team is working on, if it's going to compete with the likes of World of Warcraft it had either better be a bloody good, original franchise or an Elder Scrolls game. I will take either at this point.

PSP owners who were looking forward to purchasing a handheld version of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion already available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC (in both regular and expansion formats) may be disappointed to learn that US retailer, GameStop, has removed the PSP version's listing.

Other sites and forums are reporting that as opposed to being canceled, it's also possible that the game was delayed or is merely being considered for cancellation. We'll keep you updated if Bethesda comments.

Voodoo Extreme noticed yesterday that the parent company of Bethesda (Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, Oblivion, etc) - ZeniMax Media - has purchased the domain name "elderscrollsonline.com."

The company has yet to comment on the possibility of an Elder Scrolls MMO (or even just an Elder Scrolls game with a multiplayer feature - you never know) but the purchase is interesting to say the least.

Hit the link for more info. I for one think it'd be a worthwhile venture, even with a saturated MMO market (it might be time to replace that annoying experience grind that is how old now?)
