customers begins tomorrow so expect a lot of reviews then. the Devilian Online game will then launch to the general public on November 4th.Fallout 4's Official Title Probably Isn't Shadow Of Boston. Devilian Gold Original article: The long string of Fallout 4 rumors just got a little longer today. Bethesda has reportedly filed a trademark for an official title for the Devilian Online game.The trademark registration, filed in Germany (via XboxAchievements), is for Fallout: Shadow of Boston. The title applies to "Computer game discs", "Downloadable computer game programs, "Computer Devilian Online games programmes downloaded via the internet," and...uh, "Auditioning for tv game shows."If you're intent on believing this trademark, you'll note that it lines up with previous rumors. Leaked casting documents previously confirmed the Boston setting. Also, the nearly-identical title Fallout: Shadows of Boston (note the pluralization) popped up on IMDB in February.The first problem with this kind of thinking is that the IMDB listing for Shadows was probably bullshit. For starters, the cast list mentioned Ron Perlman, who's already said he's not coming back for another Fallout game. You don't even need to dive that deep to realize the listing was fake, though. Just the fact that anyone can make a free account on IMDB and build whatever listings they want ought to make you instantly suspicious. The fact that the listing's been removed since it was first published ought to be another indication that it's not genuine."But the title says Boston! That's the same setting that casting documents mentioned!" Well, here's the thing: that initial report about Boston came out nearly a year ago. That means that anyone who fabricates a rumor about Fallout 4 knows that everyone believes the Devilian Online game is set in that city. Their hoax is going to make at least a passing mention to Boston to make it seem more believable.Unfortunately, Fallout 4 rumors have become a popular way to troll gamers.
