Fallout 4 to launch without iconic character voice

Bethesda confirm DJ Three Dog will not feature in new title, also revealing official release date

Bethesda has confirmed that DJ Three Dog will not be making a return in Fallout 4, leaving the character's voice actor somewhat saddened by the news. 

Erik Todd Dellums, the voice of DJ Three Dog, has taken to Twitter to express thoughts on his seemingly unexpected rejection. He said: "It's the joy in creating the character that moved me. Like Luther on Homicide, saying goodbye is tough."

"The bottom line: Fallout fans are the best. Love their energy, loyalty and kindness" he added.

This news might well have put a dampener on the launch of Fallout 4 for many fans as many have been speculating that Dullums' recent social media activity could be a reason behind his departure, after releasing potential spoilers via Twitter. Although, nothing is confirmed on that front as of yet.

Dellums seemingly left the door open for a potential return, claiming that he is "reachable" if Bethesda ever decide to reinstate DJ Three Dog. 

On a side note, Bethesda has also announced that Fallout 4 will be made available on November 10th this year. Also launching alongside Fallout 4 will be a special-edition Monopoly set, read more about that here.
