Bethesda has delayed Fallout 4’s PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC update to 2024.
Fallout TV Show Will be Canon and Include a Vault Boy Origin Story
28.11.2023 - 15:21 / gamingbolt.com / Todd Howard / Will
Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout TV series is set to premiere in April next year, and fans of the post-apocalyptic franchise will be hoping that it will be able to cement itself as another recent example of well-made and well-received adaptations of games. In the lead-up to the premiere a few months from now, new images published by Vanity Fair have offered a first look at what the show will look like, while additional details have also been revealed.
The one tidbit that fans of the franchise will be particularly interested is the fact that the upcoming show will officially be part of Fallout canon, as confirmed by Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard, who’s also executive producing the show.
“We view what’s happening in the show as canon,” Howard said. “That’s what’s great, when someone else looks at your work and then translates it in some fashion.”
Howard also says the series will build an entirely original story in the Fallout universe, rather than looking to any particular game as its primary inspiration. “I did not want to do an interpretation of an existing story we did,” he said. “That was the other thing—a lot of pitches were, you know, ‘This is the movie of Fallout 3…’ I was like, ‘Yeah, we told that story.’ I don’t have a lot of interest seeing those translated. I was interested in someone telling a unique Fallout story. Treat it like a game. It gives the creators of the series their own playground to play in.”
Interestingly, it’s also been confirmed that iconic Vault Boy will not only be making an appearance in the show, but will also get an origin story. “That was something that they came up with that’s just really smart,” Howard said, though as you might image, he didn’t give away any other details.
The first episode of Fallout will premiere on Amazon’s Prime Video on April 12.

Indiana Jones’ Xbox Exclusivity “Makes Financial and Strategic Sense” – Disney
Whether or not MachineGames and Bethesda’s Indiana Jones title would be a multiplatform release was a frequently asked question (to say the very least) for months following its launch. Ordinarily, you would take that for granted for a game carrying a major IP’s license, but this is, of course, being developed by a first party Xbox studio. Earlier this year, however, it was confirmed that Indiana Jones will indeed be skipping PlayStation and releasing only for Xbox and PC, and according to Disney – parent company of Lucasfilm and owner of the Indiana Jones IP – that makes “financial and strategic sense” for the game.

The Fallout TV series will include a Vault Boy origin story for some reason
We got our first look at the Fallout TV series last week with a trailer on Saturday preceded by a behind-the-scenes report from Vanity Fair, which included looks at the show's main characters and surprisingly bright and colorful post-nuclear world, and of course some words from Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard. The report also included a small and frankly baffling detail for fans to look forward to: Vault Boy, the real-world mascot of the series and in-game avatar of fictional megacorp Vault-Tec, is going to get his very own origin story.

Fallout Trailer Gives a Glimpse of Irradiated Wasteland Filled With Ghouls, Giant Roaches, More
The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless eccentric characters — both good and bad — and uncovers the larger politics surrounding class divide, morality, and more. Fallout premieres April 12 on Amazon Prime Video.
