The Fallout show has offered a glimpse of what’s to come in season two, hinting that it will revisit a popular setting from one of the older games. The show, now available on Prime Video, is different from the games but its conclusion suggests a departure from its previous approach in the next season.
Warning: major spoilers ahead. The final moments of the show reveal Hank the overseer leaving the California setting and arriving at the New Vegas strip, a location familiar to fans of the game.
This strongly suggests that the next season will revolve around New Vegas, marking the return to this iconic location since Fallout: New Vegas in 2010. Throughout the first season, the show has borrowed heavily from the Obsidian-developed game, incorporating elements like the New California Republic and featuring a brief appearance of the character Mr. House.
The final shot of the season takes us back to the iconic New Vegas, leaving fans wondering how the show will handle the multiple endings of Fallout: New Vegas. However, fans of the series may be disappointed to learn that the show has already made significant changes to the lore.
For instance, the show’s timeline suggests that Shady Sands was bombed prior to the events of the New Vegas game, contradicting the game’s narrative. This raises questions about the show possibly taking creative liberties with its interpretation of New Vegas, potentially canonizing one of the game’s endings for the sake of the story.
