In 2008, Bethesda's Pete Hines said: "The whole reason we went out and acquired the license and that we now own Fallout is that we clearly intended to make more than one". However, Bethesda and Interplay finally settled out of court. Had Interplay's counterclaim been successful, the companies would have reverted to their previous contract, whereby Bethesda only had the rights to publish one more Fallout game - Fallout 4. There was a legal dispute in which Interplay claimed that Bethesda breached their contract regarding Fallout Online, and so their later contract was null and void. However, Bethesda purchased the entire franchise in 2007 and Interplay licensed back from Bethesda the rights to a Fallout MMORPG. Initially, in 2004, Bethesda licensed from Interplay the rights to create and publish three Fallout games ( Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4).
Nothing is known about this earlier version of Fallout 4, except that Caesar's Legion was to play a big part in it. Black Isle Studios also planned to make a Fallout 4 after their Fallout 3 (Van Buren) project was finished, but it was cancelled and the rights to the franchise were sold.
