Players Find Yet Another Reason to Dislike Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition — Bethesda Removes an Iconic Detail
Diana Golenko
The newly released Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, launched this week to celebrate the game’s 10th anniversary, has been met with an extremely cold reception from fans. Instead of a celebration, players were greeted with bugs, sudden performance drops, and a fresh batch of issues.
The situation was made even worse when Bethesda quietly removed one of Fallout 4’s most recognizable musical tracks from the re-release. According to Reddit users, Dion’s “The Wanderer” has disappeared from the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition soundtrack — a song that fronted the original game’s marketing campaign and became one of its defining symbols. Now fans of the post-apocalyptic series are trying to figure out why the track was removed.
But…that’s the song I think of when I think of Fallout 4. That’s so bulls**t, unless they lost the license for it.
That's pretty dumb, it was the iconic song for the game and was on all of the advertising.
Dude, I hate music licensing in video games…
Notably, Dion previously filed a lawsuit against Bethesda in 2017 over the use of “The Wanderer” in promotional materials. The lawsuit did not concern the game itself and was later dropped.
Bethesda has yet to comment on the removal of the iconic track, leaving fans to pin their hopes on mods. Meanwhile, the studio has already announced upcoming patches intended to fix the troubled Anniversary Edition, which is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
