After making a lot of hardcore fans very angry with the recently released Fallout TV series from Prime Video, some followers of this franchise were not so happy with some details of the TV show. The chronological setting of this adaptation, in relation to the games of this saga, remained a significant unknown.
Many fans were eager to discover this fact about the series. Todd Howard finally shared this information with Jonathan Nolan, the showrunner, and discussed the plot and its connection to the games. The series includes many of the events described in the titles.
Todd Howard and Jonathan Nolan Have Finally Revealed Where This New Series is Set in the Franchise
In a recent interview, many fans were unhappy with some details that the series apparently didn’t respect regarding the games. Both Todd Howard, head of Bethesda and creator of multiple Fallout games, and Jonathan Nolan, showrunner of the TV show, talked about a main detail that fans were waiting for. The series is set after which game in the franchise, and specifically after which game? This was finally revealed.
The series’ authors have clarified that the game takes place in the year 2296, a significant distance from the events of Fallout 4, which took place in 2287, and New Vegas, which occurred in 2281. Howard has already confirmed that the TV show exists within the games’ canon, so everything that happened in the franchise is part of this adaptation. A very important city was destroyed; this was revealed at the end of the season.
There is no confirmation about whether this series will have a second season; Amazon Prime Video has not confirmed this yet. Fans are waiting for a second season, after which success will likely happen very soon. The critics praised this series adaptation as one of the most faithful products inspired by a video game franchise. At the moment, the audience will have to wait a while until a new update arrives.
Fallout is Another Great Popular Video Game Adaptation
Hollywood is finally getting alone with the video game adaptations. Over the last couple of years, with average-to-really-bad movies about different games, the change has been amazing. In the past, numerous adaptations to the big screen were the laughingstock of critics and fans. With terrifying movies like the first Super Mario Bros. Movie or two adaptations of Hitman that were not good at all, the mainstream media is going through a golden age.
Some adaptations have more than an average reception, like Gran Turismo, Sonic: The Hedgehog, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and the incredible The Last of Us series from HBO. The new series, Fallout, has also joined the list of successful video game live-action versions on streaming services. Two of the minds behind the TV show have clarified something really important for fans.
