Last week we had the latest in a long line of Fallout 4 hoaxes in the form of a Shadow of Boston patent application in Germany but rumours are once again swirling around the internet, this time claiming that the game, whatever it's called, will have a VGX reveal.
Geoff Keighley, the Spike TV presenter and VGX host, recently tweeted a meeting he had with Bethesda chiefs. “Great night planning with the ladies who run Bethesda. You are missed @DCDeacon.” DCDeacon is Bethesda's PR chife Pete Hines.
It's being spectulated that the fact Bethesda and Keighley were "planning" something suggests a reveal for a Bethesda game at VGX, which will be next month.

Bethesda officially denied the Shadow of Boston application had been submitted by them on their main Twitter account, something they normally wouldn't, and it's possible they were simply doing to clear up any potential copyright issues relating to Warner Bros. Shadow of Mordor. Alternatively, could just be some mis-direction ahead of VGX.
Maybe their "planning" session has nothing to do with Fallout, and may be related to another Bethesda property, possibly a Dishonored sequel. Of course, it may have nothing to do with VGX at all, but given a few exceptions like No Man's Sky, last year's show was considered to be rather poor and a Bethesda announcement this year would certainly help boost its credibility.
