may be littered with dangerous critters intent on causing players harm but one user discovered that even the smoldering forests of the Ashlands have violence in their hearts. Following the release of the game's latest major content update, the community has ventured bravely into the firey unknown in an effort to scavenge new resources, build stronger weapons, and investigate what horrors could dwell within such a Hellish environment. While many are understandably cautious of giant monsters, it pays to remember that death can spring forward from the most unlikely of places.
What is the Fallout 4 canon ending, and how does TV confirm it?
18.04.2024 - 12:55 / radiotimes.com
Being in control of how a game ends, as so many afford us nowadays, causes a headache for developers when it comes to sequels. How can you follow on from a narrative that has multiple potential outcomes? That is certainly a predicament that developer Bethesda will find itself in once Fallout 5 comes around.
However, with all of the buzz surrounding Amazon Prime's recent TV adaptation of Fallout, fans have been discussing the canonical ending of 2015's Fallout 4 which has led to reams of speculation.
So, we have untangled everything for you to try and get a better grasp on just what is happening in the dystopian world of Fallout. Warning: to say spoilers for both the show and Fallout 4 are ahead would be an understatement.
Fans are talking about Fallout 4's canonical ending because of the appearance of The Prydwen, which is an airship used by The Brotherhood of Steel, in the first episode of the Fallout TV series.
A Vanity Fair article led fans to initially believe the airship was in fact the Caswennan, but upon closer inspection the word «Prydwen» can be seen clearly in white lettering on the side of the craft as show in the post on X below.
Naturally, this has led fans to speculate about what is now considered as a canon ending for Fallout 4, as it has been confirmed that the show is set around nine years after the game in the same timeline.
Read on to find out what the presence of The Prydwen in the TV series tells us about Fallout 4.

If the airship seen in the show is in fact The Prydwen then it means that two out of the four potential endings to Fallout 4 can now be considered canon. But what are those endings?
At the climax of the game, players are forced to make a decision and pick an allegiance. Two of the choices result in either the destruction of The Prydwen or the elimination of The Brotherhood of Steel and so the craft’s presence in the TV show would rule these two options out as being canonical.
The first potential canon outcome comes when players choose to side with The Minutemen – a choice which has several options, but one of them is to allow The Brotherhood of Steel and The Railroad to co-exist while destroying the sinister Institute. This means that in the show’s timeline, The Prydwen would still exist.
The other potential canon ending for the game is where your character chooses to side with The Brotherhood of Steel, destroying both The Institute and The Railroad. Again, this would leave The Prydwen in existence, making its presence in the show plausible.

The Ultimate Crossover: Sand Land Snags Sandstorm by Darude in Its New Story Trailer | Push Square
In what is a frankly unbelievable move, Bandai Namco has managed to secure iconic — and heavily memed — 2000 trance track 'Sandstorm' for its new Sand Land trailer. Honestly, it fits quite well, but we're still in disbelief that the marketing team actually went and got this done. We can only assume that Darude, the original DJ behind Sandstorm, is a massive, diehard fan of the manga and anime property. A dream come true, we're sure.
