Fallout, you might have noticed, is having a bit of moment thanks to Amazon's acclaimed new live-action TV series; and one of its many easter eggs — an on-screen phone number that also happens to work if you dial it in the real world — has fans a-chatter as they ponder the significance of a curious message and a specific timeframe relayed within.
The phone number in question — 213-25-VAULT — makes an appearance during a Vault-themed infomercial, hosted by Walter Goggins' Cooper Howard, during the Fallout TV show's sixth episode. As Goggins does his thing, an on-screen message encourages viewers to «Call now!», and attentive fans have, as you might imagine, now done precisely that.
Ringing the number (thanks IGN) greets callers with the wails and cries of a man seemingly mid-torture before the line goes dead. More noteworthy, however, is the discovery that texting the number results in an entirely different response. «Thank you for texting Vault-Tec,» the reply reads. «The next available appointment is 33 weeks from now, please stand by!». Additionally, there's an option to receive follow-up marketing material, eliciting the reply, «Congratulations! We may or may not be in touch if an appointment becomes available».

While the number is an obvious reference to Vault 33 — where TV show protagonist Lucy was born and raised — some have wondered if Amazon and/or Bethesda might additionally have a little something planned to occur in 33 weeks time. Which, to save you consulting your calendar, takes us to the end of November or the beginning of December this year.
That's just about far enough away that Amazon might have some Season 2 news to share by then (we already know Season 2 is likely coming), or perhaps Bethesda has prepped a fun little in-game easter egg that'll unlock for Fallout 76 or Fallout 4 — which is set to receive a next-gen patch this month — when the date rolls around. Or maybe it's nothing at all — which will increasingly seem to be the most likely option if Amazon's text message fails to count down as the weeks tick by.

The Fallout TV show effect continues. This time, it’s popular mod site Nexus Mods on the receiving end of the double-edged Shishkebab, as its servers struggle under the weight of people rushing to play through the series again - and mod its latter entries into games worth playing, presumably.
In a surprise to no one, Amazon's Fallout TV series has been officially renewed for a second season.
Bethesda really must be feeling very happy right now. Fallout 4 has pip (boyed) its way to the top to became Europe's best-selling game, per sales data from chart numbers company GSD.

Todd Howard has assured Fallout fans that the franchise's recently-released TV show does not contradict the games' pre-established lore.
Bethesda's very own Mr Handy (director and executive producer) Todd Howard has addressed the controversy surrounding the Fallout TV show's treatment of Fallout backstory, reaffirming the canonicity of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and promising that Bethesda and Amazon are being "careful" to maintain consistency between the games and the TV series. Are you new to this latest lore scandal? Watch out for Fallout Season 1 spoilers ahead, then.
Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.
I sort of reject that the Fallout TV show has Easter eggs hidden in it because it, as a whole, is the equivalent of one of those fancy Hotel Chocolat ostrich-sized patisserie collection bastards that cost 40 quid. However. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Fallout show noted that episode 6 gives you a number for Valt-Tec that you can actually get in touch with - 213-25-VAULT (or, 213-258-2858). Charges apply, as well as international codes if you're outside the US, which makes it 001-213-258-2858.
Fallout: London, the Fallout 4 mod set in a post-apocalyptic English capital that’s large enough to effectively be its own game, has been hit by an indefinite delay just two weeks from its planned release date. The reason? Fallout 4’s long-in-the-works next-gen update is now due to drop just two days after London’s planned launch date, which its fan devs say will “simply break” the ambitious project.
