Following stories regarding the closure of Black Isle Studios, the investor relations department of the development studios' parent company, Interplay has denied those reports. According to the company, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel will be available on January 13th, while Fallout 3 was under review. That being said, Interplay emphasized that Fallout as a series was alive and kicking, however this does not mean a new installment for the PC platform would be released within the next few months. Instead the management was trying to make maximum use of its intellectual property and its fanbase within certain financial parameters.
