Fallout 4 Goes Gold, Fallout-branded Beer Announced

To celebrate October 23rd, the date of the Great War in the Fallout setting, Bethesda Game Studios’ official Twitter account has confirmed that the game has gone gold, and that all the “27 versions” of the game, which presumably include not only the two console and the PC versions, but also all the different localizations and packages, are now ready to go out in the wild in time for the November 10 release. Presumably they’ve been ready for a while, but the announcement was scheduled for this day because of its symbolic importance:

Oct 23rd – the bombs have fallen. Fallout 4 is complete. All 27 versions.

The company also announced a collaboration with Carlsberg to produce a Fallout-branded beer, which will be available ahead of the game’s launch. A cola would have been a more natural fit for the franchise and would also be available to a wider public, so I have to admit I’m a bit confused by this choice:

Bethesda Teams Up With Carlsberg UK To Produce Fallout BEER

23 October 2015 (London, UK) Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that it has teamed up with Carlsberg UK to offer fans Falloutâ„¢ BEER, a beverage inspired by Vault-Tec Industries and the multi-award winning Fallout® videogame series.

Fallout 4 will be available worldwide on 10th November 2015, and is being developed for Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, and for PCs by the award-winning team at Bethesda Game Studios® under the direction of Todd Howard.

Bruce Ray, Corporate Affairs Director at Carlsberg UK: (This is something of a world-first. Adult participation in video gaming is a truly social activity, on a par with cinema and music. We’re proud to work with Bethesda to produce a beer Fallout fans can enjoy).
