We've been positively dry on news for quite a while now, so I figured I'd bring some attention to something I've just learned about:
http://thesurvivor2299.com/
Spooky, huh? Apparently, this domain was just recently registered by the big Beth, confirmed by news sites Gameranx and 8th-Circuit. According to Reddit, the Morse code on the page translates to '12-22-13', or maybe '11-22-13'.
In addition, the .mp3 file can be accessed at
http://thesurvivor22...84ec0d1b93c.mp3 which incidentally references the Connecticut city of Bridgeport.
Furthermore:
There is a 'fallout.js' (JavaScript) as a file reference on the page.
The cascading style sheet also references the Monofonto font used in Fallout 3s interface.
A div at the bottom of the page is noted as pointing towards Bethesda Softworks' own YouTube profile.
The domain registrant is ZeniMax Media Inc. The same spelling of the registrant, data, and even contact information are used for the main Bethesda Softworks domain (bethsoft.com).
The alternative IP listed in the site code is listed as owned by ZeniMax Media (199.107.64.171).
Furthermore, it does seem similar to how Fallout 3 was teased.
However, as WorstUsernameEver of NMA points out, the domain resolves to an address in Poland, putting a rather big dent in the credibility of the website. The presence of Polish names for script variables inside the website code also indicates this may very well be a very convincing fake.
