The Fallout 4 teaser website that appeared last month has just seen a bigger update after its "Nuclear Winter" countdown expired, as three new Morse code messages have been shared with visitors.

Fallout 4 has been rumored for quite some time, as apparently developer Bethesda is preparing to show off its next project in the post-apocalyptic RPG series.

For some time now, a special teaser website called TheSurvivor2299 has been available, hosting two different countdowns and different Morse code messages that have been updated in the last few weeks with all sorts of mentions and statements.

Now, after one of the countdowns expired, three new transmissions have been broadcast to visitors.

Thanks to the Fallout Reddit community, these were quickly deciphered and shared with other fans.

The first encoded message read: "The Institute is sealed. They won't help us I'm heading to Black Row."

Two more messages followed, also encoded. The first one was: "Calling all stations, calling all stations, calling all stations. This is Overseer of Vault 119. Emergency. Unknown enemy. SOS SOS SOS. Vault 119. Quabbin. 7667. SOS SOS SOS. Vault 119. Quabbin. 7667. Enemy unkno-"

The second message read: "Calling all stations, this is Vault Overseer 119, anybody near Quabbin? SOS Vault door breach, repeat, SOS Vault door breach, enemy unknown, level 1, 2, and 3 gone, survivors on (service lift? sealed? secure location?) level 4"

A Fallout 4 trademark filing was spotted by eager fans last month in Europe, but it quickly turned out that it was a hoax, or at least a filing that wasn't made by the owner of the Fallout franchise, Zenimax, which is the parent company of Bethesda.

As of yet, no official comments have appeared from the studio or the company concerning the teaser website and its use of the Vault-Tec logo.
