Fallout 4 will reportedly be set in Boston, it has been revealed.
Bethesda has allegedly been researching the area as part of the development process, paying particular attention to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to a couple of Reddit users.
"The rumors are true, Fallout 4 will take place in Boston. In case you haven't heard, Bethesda has recently been scoping out and researching Boston," one user posted.
"They also have a strong connection to MIT. I may or may not be an MIT employee. But that's really all I can say for fear of losing my job.
"Apologies for the vagueness of this post. It's not just my job that worries me, but also getting the f**k sued out of me.
"Bethesda's contracts are basically full-proof so if they were to discover who I am, or rather, who I got this information from, a few people including myself could get into a lot of trouble."
Another poster backed up the claims, adding: "I've been hearing reports from people in the Boston area, where my fellow Fallout-obsessed brother lives, that Bethesda has been in the Boston area doing initial research for Fallout 4.
"It's highly speculative, but the main rumors surround Bethesda's connection to "The Institute", or what we call the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or M.I.T."
Earlier this year, Bethesda secured the rights to the Fallout MMO following a legal battle with Interplay.
