Could Project Arroyo Launch on Steam?
Project Arroyo wouldn't be the first to release on Steam, even if it is rare for mods to do so. As Daponte, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, pointed out, all players on Steam and Bethesda have been totally receptive to the complete conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The team isn't making money off of Bethesda's invention; Enderal is entirely free and still needs the vanilla version of Skyrim to access the remainder of the mod. Rather, they are providing an experience whereby the original game is a must-have.
Whether Project Arroyo follows the same path is still to be seen, but in the meanwhile Fallout 2 aficionados can savor the rich development updates provided by Daponte and their staff. Designed as a Remake of the cult classic, the conversion mod will feature fresh sites, entirely re-recorded voice lines, and an abundance of removed material yet fitting within the franchise's legacy. Although the mod does not yet have a release date, given its scope it is most likely still several years out.
Made by one hundred enthusiasts hoping for Steam, Fallout 2 Remake
Although the second game in the prestigious Fallout series might not get its due when compared to more contemporary games, one huge group of enthusiasts intends to change that by releasing their remake widely. Declared more than five years ago, the very ambitious Project Arroyo aims to completely replicate the classic isometric RPG into a first-person shooter using Fallout 4's strong modding toolkit. Although the scope of the project seems to be far more than many supporters first anticipated, that may already be an interesting idea.
Speaking with Game Rant, Project Arroyo leader Damion Daponte said that the remake has about 100 developers working on it, thereby reassuring people who have been following its creation that progress is going along gradually as the team releases more updates on their work. With Valve's store "easier to access, easier to update, easier to install," Daponte is even considering releasing the Fallout 2 remake on Steam. Simply said, it is more efficient. Whether Bethesda will let that is yet unknown, but it's definitely an interesting pitch.
The Fallout Series Might Get Us Started.
Although the Fallout series is well-known for embracing the crazy elements of post-apocalyptic society, the second game most definitely veered in that direction. While some may think it too often turned to crazy events, the Enclave and NCR's underlying narrative is still as dramatic and gripping as ever. Although the original Fallout 2 is still somewhat enjoyable, having it entirely rebuilt for modern tastes would be the glow-up it deserves.

Though the Fallout series has many things to offer, the brand has established what the future holds. There is a devoted following for the show; its several runs will be much sought for by viewers. The possibility of a new plot and novel ideas to be added into the series excites me.
Currently in work is Project Arroyo, a fan-driven initiative aiming at creating a Fallout 2 remake using Fallout 4 game engine. Given its scope and depth, this effort is guaranteed to attract notice. The way it will operate in the globe excites supporters.
