In the latest update to TheSurvivor2299.com it has been confirmed that the site, believed by some to be a teaser site for Fallout 4, is a hoax.
The site now bears a YouTube video entitled 'Sad Violin' and the caption 'that's all folks'. TheSurvivor also has the tagline 'Ain't that a kick in the head?', a reference to The Courier in Fallout: New Vegas being shot.
Beneath the video the hoaxer(s) wrote:
"Special thanks to /r/Fallout the most amazing community on reddit for resolving all clues. PSA: YT User 'Elevated Level', Butch, Pitor, Liam Neeson and creator of tunnelsnakesrule.com are not responsible for this 'hoax/rickroll'."
The revelation about TheSurvivor comes after Bethesda insisted Fallout 4 will not be announced at tonight's VGX awards show. A recent European patent application for Fallout 4 was also discovered to be a fake.
It now seems likely that Fallout 4 will not be revealed until at least E3, 2014 and will probably aim for a 2015 release date.
