The morse code:

Which translates to:

Definitely Fallout related. Also,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Institute
mentioned in the code was in F3 and New Vegas. It is commonly known as
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
MIT.


Very exciting!

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere (may have missed it) but BlackIsle has Project V13 (Vault 13?) due out in 2015. High hopes. Also their Project VanBuren was supposed to be Fallout 3, IIRC. It was never released and no details about it were ever released. All the old, good Fallout games' development names were presidents. I think 1 was Project Washington. Hope some of this helps.

edit: Nevermind the Project V13 thing, just looked it up and it looks like it's something else. Daaaaamn :/

I think the morse code must have changed, running the current one through a decoder, I get-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
cq cq cq bst is gone ii bst is gone n hpe freq 3450 rt gb americ@ (although the last character could possibly be an 'a' followed by an 'i' that the decoder is picking up wrong)


EDIT - BST is British Summer Time - could this one be set in the UK (with the God Bless America bit being sarcastic)?

ANOTHER EDIT - Nope, I'm being daft. BST would be Boston, which is where the next game is rumoured to be set

We got a new cipher this morning - which has just been solved.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
KVNGR REV ALPHA PPS VT PIZ UHMYLPVOQ CM XHWMZP. NBJB SPI'F BYQS QT D'Y BYFGEOB FI VQDYL MAQ. -NGQHT 5120-

Has been translated to: THE INSTITUTE IS SEALED. THEY WON'T HELP US I'M HEADING TO BLACK ROW. -TBNLS 5120-


New morse code too, but no word on that yet. I might try to figure it out myself. These Reddit peeps are good.

Best way to watch for updates is either Reddit or this site.

And dang, this site, man...

apparently there's an irc channel that has been decoding the ciphers as they appear on the site. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pJLwd0osKpnp6kEogWh6KAZZiM0Rh-odwWCDc3VEMVE/preview?pli=1&sle=true#

FYI: Bethesda put up a tweet, possibly relevant to Survivor2299.

Bethesda Softworks ‏@Bethblog 3h

PSA: If you don't hear it through an official channel like this, assume all rumors and speculation are false.

Almost certainly a hoax, given the latest page update.

Boo urns.
