In celebration of the 25th birthday of theFalloutvideogame franchise, Prime Video has released a new image from their highly-anticipated series adaptation. All the games in the franchise take place in a future where humanity was almost wiped out by a nuclear holocaust, as players take control of a warrior trying to survive in the apocalypse.
The image shows some people inside a metal structure looking at the light that comes in through a round door. The facility is similar to the Vaults, massive bunker-like underground constructions where different human settlements survived during the apocalypse. In mostFalloutgames, players need to explore the outside world using heavy armor that can protect the human body from radiation and give them some defense against the mutant creatures that now roam the Earth. These missions are usually attached to finding new resources for your Vault or even inviting allies that can help your community to prosper amidst the chaos.
Prime Video’sFalloutseriesstarted production last June. So, considering how CGI-heavy the series should be, it’s not surprising they didn’t release a trailer for the franchise’s anniversary. Still, the new image is an excellent reminderFalloutis coming to TV sometime next year, and we can’t wait to see how the games acid fits the TV format. The franchise is also beloved for its thrilling combat and ambiguous moral choices, many of which can doom or save your Vault depending on who you decide to anger. Of course, that is harder to adapt to a linear story, but the universe ofFalloutis so rich we’re sure Prime Video will find an elegant solution.
