Fans of the Fallout series can breathe a sigh of relief as Bethesda’s Todd Howard confirms that the highly anticipated Prime Video adaptation stays true to the games’ canon. In an interview with IGN, Howard reassured fans, stating, “Everything that happened in the previous games, including New Vegas, happened. We’re very careful about that.”
Addressing concerns about the timeline, Howard clarified that while there might be slight confusion in some areas, the series respects the established events, ensuring consistency with the games. He emphasized the importance of maintaining coherence, especially regarding pivotal moments like the fall of Shady Sands, stating, “We’re threading it tighter there.”
Furthermore, Howard hinted that the series explores the fallout of Shady Sands without necessarily involving a nuclear event, adding layers of complexity to the storyline.
Prime Video’s Fallout adaptation, titled simply “Fallout,” promises a gripping narrative set in a future post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. The show follows the descendants of luxury fallout shelter dwellers as they confront the harsh reality of the irradiated wasteland left behind by their ancestors.
Led by executive producers Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan of Kilter Films, the series boasts a stellar cast, including Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, and Kyle MacLachlan. With talent like Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serving as co-showrunners, and Nolan directing the first three episodes, Fallout delivers a captivating blend of talent behind the scenes.
Audiences can expect an original story that adds to the canon of the games while introducing new characters and settings. From the intriguing Vault 33 to the introduction of the adorable companion CX404, Fallout promises to immerse viewers in a world of danger, dark humor, and unexpected discoveries.
The post-apocalyptic adventure of Fallout began on April 11, 2024, with all episodes released simultaneously, inviting fans to embark on an unforgettable journey through the wasteland.
