Hot off the heels of sharing the first images from the Fallout TV show, Amazon has now released the first trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game franchise. The teaser showcases post-apocalyptic California and the ghoulish, irradiated mutations that can be found within it.
It also introduced the main characters of the series, brings viewers into a distinctly Fallout-flavored world, and more or less brings the game to life. While the series, from showrunner Jonathan Nolan (Westworld) is not based on any specific game, it is an original and canonical story in Fallout lore.
Still, while we aren't visiting locations from the games (don't expect them to visit the Washington Memorial as we know it from Fallout 3, for instance), there are plenty of nods to the games. From the general aesthetic, the music, the types of characters and creatures and so much more, it's clear this is aiming to be a faithful take on the world of Fallout.
We put on our superfan hats to document all of the nods, Easter eggs, and more to the gaming franchise. Take a look and sound off in the comments to tell us what we missed!
Fallout premieres April 24 on Prime Video.
A key element that sets Fallout apart from other post-apocalyptic media are the Vaults; underground bunkers scattered across the United States to save what little of humanity they can, each conducting a different social experiment on its inhabitants. For example, Vault 101 in Fallout 3 was designed to prevent its inhabitants from ever leaving. This trailer heavily showcases Vault 33. We are still unsure of the Vault’s unique experiment, and there is also a possibility that other Vaults will be featured in the show.
The player character leaving the Vault is an iconic moment in any of the Fallout games, and the show seems to be replicating that as its protagonist Lucy (Ella Purnell) takes her first steps into an irradiated Los Angeles. It seems at least one of her fellow Vault dwellers isn’t too happy with her leaving, as they call out for her to stop as she exits.
The Fallout games have been set in some of America’s largest cities; Fallout 3 in Washington D.C., Fallout 4 in Boston. As previously mentioned, the Fallout show will take place on the west coast in the city of Los Angeles. In this shot, we see what remains of the Santa Monica pier. Yes, we still want to ride the ferris wheel.
While you fight many human factions in the Fallout games, you also have to face off against mutations that have been irradiated by the fallout of nuclear war. None of them are as abundant, or annoying, as the radroach, and this shot confirms the show will be featuring these pesky critters as well.
