Fallout: Shadow of Boston Is Definitely (not) a Thing
Bethesda have trademarked Fallout: Shadow of Boston with the German Patent and Trademark Office.
The listing, spotted by NeoGaf, mentions “game discs”, “downloadable computer game programs” and “auditioning for tv shows”, so perhaps a Defiance-esque tie in show is in the works.
It isn’t the first such copyright move made by Bethesda, who last year put in an application for Fallout 4.
Here’s hoping it isn’t an elaborate hoax.
UPDATE: It is…
The German trademark filing that's making the rounds is a hoax. This didn't come from our offices.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
