Fallout 4 has been confirmed by a set of casting documents that reveal the game's actual setting of Boston, as well as various other locations or factions, such as The Institute or the Commonwealth.

Fallout 4 has been rumored for quite some time, and things seemed to confirm an upcoming announcement as, recently, a teaser website appeared online.

Unfortunately, while the site proved to be a hoax, Kotaku has managed to obtain some casting documents that were given out to potential voice actors for a project called "Institute."

After reading them, however, it's quite clear that the game is Fallout 4, as it begins with the trademark "War. War never changes."

The document also reveals that players will explore Boston in the new game and interact with characters from the Commonwealth faction.

Other characters, such as Preston Garvey, a radio DJ named Travis Miles, and an engineer named Sturges were also mentioned.

When asked about the leak, Bethesda gave its regular "we don't comment on rumor and speculation," response.
