The Fallout TV present from Amazon might be way more than only a retelling of Bethesda’s RPGs, Bethesda’s Todd Howard stated in a current episode of the Lex Fridman podcast (thanks Eurogamer).

[It] exists in the identical world however is its personal distinctive factor, so it provides to it. Whereas additionally, individuals who haven’t performed the video games, who can’t expertise how loopy cool Fallout is, can watch the collection.”
That stated, Howard was nonetheless cautious about not letting something slip relating to what we are able to truly count on from the Fallout present.
The collection’ plot remains to be a thriller, with only a slight tease from a current promotional picture to go by. The present at the moment has no deliberate air date, but it surely’s most likely secure to say we’ll see the Fallout present earlier than we see a brand new Fallout recreation, except a studio like Obsidian will get the reins to make a full New Vegas-style spinoff once more.
