Well Howdy, Partner! Time for Another Trip to the Mojave
For 15 years, couriers have been waking up in Doc Mitchell’s house, taking a long walk through the Mojave, and getting hopelessly tangled in the politics of the New California Republic and Caesar’s Legion. ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ is more than just a game; it’s a legendary RPG that fans hold in the highest regard. To celebrate its 15th birthday, Bethesda used its Fallout Day broadcast to announce something special: a physical ‘Fallout: New Vegas 15th Anniversary Bundle’ packed with exclusive collectibles.
It’s a fantastic tribute to a beloved classic, giving fans a chance to own a piece of the Mojave Wasteland. However, the announcement also came with a dose of reality that has left the community with mixed feelings. Let’s dig into what this bundle is, and what it isn’t.
A Treasure Trove for the Hardcore Courier
This isn’t just a re-release; it’s a full-blown collector’s set designed for the most dedicated fans of the game. The centerpiece is a beautiful 8-inch PVC statue of everyone’s favorite securitron, Victor. But the goodies don’t stop there. The bundle, which comes in a retro-style collector’s box, is packed with memorabilia pulled straight from the game’s most iconic moments. Here’s everything that comes inside:
- Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (PC Digital Code): A digital code for the full game and all six of its incredible DLCs: ‘Dead Money,’ ‘Honest Hearts,’ ‘Old World Blues,’ ‘Lonesome Road,’ ‘Courier’s Stash,’ and ‘Gun Runner’s Arsenal.’
- Victor Statue: An 8-inch PVC statue of the friendly securitron from Goodsprings.
- Doc Mitchell’s Evaluation Cards: A cardstock set of the memorable inkblot tests from the game’s opening moments.
- Vault Boy Enamel Pin: A pin featuring Vault Boy ready to gamble with a handful of poker chips.
- Mojave Express & NCR Recon Patches: Two woven, iron-on patches to show off your wasteland credentials.
It’s a fantastic collection of physical items that perfectly captures the spirit of the game. However, there are two major caveats that have the community talking.
The Truth Is, the Game Was Rigged from the Start
While the bundle is a wonderful celebration, it’s not what many fans were hoping for. First, it’s a PC-only release. The game code included is for the PC version, and there is no equivalent bundle for console players. Second, and more importantly, this is not a remaster. The game included is the same 2010 version that’s been available for years. While it includes all the DLC, it doesn’t feature any graphical upgrades, performance enhancements, or new content.
This was a point of disappointment for many who were hoping that the 15th anniversary, combined with the renewed popularity of the franchise, would finally lead to a full remaster for modern consoles. The wait for a visually updated trip to New Vegas continues.

A High Price for Nostalgia

For those who love the game and want to own a physical piece of its legacy, the high-quality statue and unique collectibles will be a must-have. For everyone else, it serves as a bittersweet reminder of a masterpiece that is still waiting for its modern-day revival.
Conclusion
The ‘Fallout: New Vegas 15th Anniversary Bundle’ is a beautifully crafted love letter to one of the most beloved RPGs of all time. The collectibles are fantastic, and for hardcore PC fans, it’s an excellent package. But for the thousands of console players and those dreaming of a full remaster, it feels like a missed opportunity. The bundle is a great way to celebrate the past, but it leaves us all still wondering what the future holds for the Mojave Wasteland.
