Bethesda Softworks has confirmed that its upcoming title, Fallout 3, has gone gold and will be available on store shelves and online in North America on October 28th, in Europe and Australia on October 30th, and in the UK on October 31, for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, and Games for Windows.

“Fallout 3 has been the biggest project we’ve ever undertaken,” said Todd Howard, game director for Fallout 3. “It’s been a long journey and we’re really happy with how it turned out. We can’t wait for everyone to get a chance to play it.”

Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Set more than 200 years following a nuclear war, you can create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of Washington, D.C however you choose. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.
