Fallout 4 was the UK's best-selling game last month, as the popularity of the TV adaptation from Amazon Prime keeps on fuelling sales. Combined with deep discounts across the entire series, Christopher Dring of GamesIndustry.biz said the Bethesda RPG earned top spot «comfortably», with the second-placed EA Sports FC 24 presumably not even close to matching its sales.
10 Fallout Settings Perfect For A Game Outside The United States

Despite the series insisting that the Great War was a global, thermonuclear event, the franchise has only visited several locations in the United States, even in its outing as an Amazon Prime Video series. It isn't as though other locations don't exist in a similar vein to the post-apocalyptic ruins of America, since there are characters from other countries, like Zao from With the mod in the news, it brings attention to other international locations which the post-nuclear survival series could take place in.
Bethesda is no stranger to its players wanting to expand the worlds that its games create. Large-scale mods going beyond the initial boundaries of a Bethesda title are known to happen. Examples lie with and two of its most famous mods, ,which adds the northern region of Cyrodiil, and ,which adds the DLC-sized plane of Oblivion, Coldharbour. In the future, Bethesda could do this itself with the series thanks to having a wealth of international options at its disposal.
In, it's often implied that the first country to drop the bombs was China. Effectively, the Cold War never ended in the franchise, as there was a third Red Scare, which would make China the enemy of the US, according to the series' lore. It would be interesting to visit China to see the other side of 's Great War, since it has only been seen from the perspective of the United States thus far.
Shanghai might be the best city to use for a Chinese title, given its sprawling skyline and sheer size. With its coasts, it could have distinct borders from a gameplay perspective, and with ancient chinese architecture, like in the Yu Gardens, a unique aesthetic never before seen in the series is there to use. Nearby islands, like Changxing Island, connected to the city could even be used for future DLC and expansions.
Rio de Janeiro has plenty of colorful and iconic places to put into any game, but seeing them with 's post-apocalyptic aesthetic could be something truly special. There would be plenty of variety in environments for players in Rio, given the Ipanema beaches and Tijuca National Park, the only rain forest within a city's limits. Plus, the favelas of Rio would easily fit into the world without much effort.
More importantly, Rio de Janeiro's roots in jazz help it fit with the atompunk, retrofuturistic aesthetic of Fallout. The series' music is iconic, featuring swing, jazz and big band tracks from the post-WW2 era. Rio is known as the birthplace of a genre of jazz in the late 50s and early 60s, called bossa nova, a relaxed type of samba. Bossa nova music from the era would be perfect for a radio, while its Portuguese lyrics would make players feel like they are in Brazil.
