A teaser site registered to ZeniMax Media Inc appears to hint at a potential Fallout

Loading

TheSurvivor2299.com was uncovered by Reddit users, some of whom identified javascript code specifically calling out Fallout, as well as identified the page's morse code as a date. A whois directory search identifies ZeniMax Media -- which owns the Bethesda's developer/publisher divisions -- as the domain owner. Here's where it's worth considering this teaser site with a grain of salt.ZeniMax registered both Wolfenstein 's and The Elder Scrolls ' domains through Corporate Domains Inc, while TheSurvivor2299 was registered with GoDaddy.com. Meanwhile, ZeniMax uses its own DNS servers for its registrations (ns1.zenimax.com) while TheSurvior2299 uses a separate, self-branded server: ns1.thesurvivor2299.com. Furthermore, the whois page for TheSurvivor2299 is also missing Corporate Service Company's Corporate Domains Inc promotion introducing ZeniMax's known, legitimate domains.We'll find out in December whether these minor inconsistencies indicate the site is a spoof, or if it's something ZeniMax is genuinely working on. Bethesda declined to comment on whether or not it owned the web domain.
