Fallout 4 News

While we know the Fallout TV show that’s set to drop very soon on Prime Video will feature plenty of things you’re familiar with in terms of factions and items, even if the characters are all new, one of the things designed to help set it apart from the games sounds pretty interesting. Get ready to watch Lucy’s fellow vault dwellers have a good time without her.

Now, obviously this isn’t the first time in Fallout history we’ll have gotten a peek at what’s happened to a vault that was once home to a protagonist in the time since they’ve been gone. That said, both in the original Fallout and Fallout 3, your returns to the Vault don’t exactly suggest things have been all rosy since you departed or end too well, whereas this time, it sounds like at least for a little bit, there won’t be trouble on the homefront.

In a new interview with IGN about the show, director Jonathan Nolan reveals that one of the things he was most excited about in terms of the show’s script was being able to continue telling the story of the folks in Vault 33 in the immediate aftermath of its Ella Purnell-portrayed protagonist’s departure into the wastes. “Just because Lucy left the vault doesn’t mean that we have to,” he explained. “There’s a whole community back there that you’ve gotten to know a little bit.”

Warning: Major spoilers for Fallout 4 lie ahead

There are a lot of Fallout things coming in the very near future now that April’s upon us, but the first one that’s dropped looks to have done so pretty much out of the blue. It’s a new fan film called Fallout Deadweight and adds an interesting extra scene to the end of Fallout 4’s main quest.

If you haven’t replayed it in a while, the central adventure of Fallout 4 generally either ends with The Institute either going boom or entering a new era with the Sole Survivor in charge. No matter which way you choose to go about it, things end rather tragically for the son you’ve spent most of the game tearing apart the wasteland to find, with him meeting his end as the story concludes.

Would you look at that? Here’s another sneaky look at the kind of thing we can expect to see when we all sit down to watch the Fallout TV show next month. This time it’s the first clip that Amazon’s put out, and there’s a bit with a jetpack that’s definitely not a tad on the goofy side.

Yup, forget about highly-edited trailers, like the one we got recently, this is the first straight-up scene from the show we’ve gotten, and it features a showdown between some of the main characters. Does it look good? I’d say so, even if the Brotherhood of Steel member’s entrance is arguably a bit hilarious.

As you can see below, the one minute and 30 second-ish snippet Amazon’s shared kicks of with the vault dweller, Ella Purnell’s Lucy, trying in very polite fashion to stop The Ghoul - played by Walton Goggins - from continuing to do nasty things to some residents of one of those typical wasteland shanty towns that we all know and love. Sadly, because she’s, you know, a vault dweller, and therefore has the survival instincts of a particularly naive puppy, she delivers a speech right out of the Vault-Tec handbook on wasteland relations.

If you're a Fallout fan and you would like a custom Xbox Series X, then you might want to check out the giveaway Xbox is currently holding.

Prime Video's Fallout TV show is basically right around the corner, and as part of building hyper for the upcoming series, Xbox has teamed up with the streaming service to make "the world's first vault for an Xbox." Now, this is obviously quite a bold claim and to be perfectly honest isn't necessarily verifiable, however, the resulting custom Fallout-themed Xbox is quite funny. As you can see in the tweet below, the custom Xbox is designed to look like tons of Vault Boys posed all over the console, with a similar design on the console's controller.

Most notably though is the fact that the console itself comes in a literal vault, complete with a Fallout logo, keypad, and little wheel you presumably turn to open it after putting in the correct code. The wheel has the number 33 on it too, the very same vault that will be making its debut in the live action show when it airs next month. It's one of the funnier custom Xboxs that Microsoft has put up for grabs, though unfortunately those of us over in the UK and EU won't have any chance of getting it, as the giveaway is only open to US residents ages 18 and up.

Five years in, and Fallout: London is about ready to drop a bombshell. One of the most ambitious projects in the Fallout modding scene, FOLON (as it's known) is a "DLC-sized" attempt to transplant Fallout's familiar post-apocalypse from American shores to the bustling boroughs of London, complete with ghoul-ified bobbies and King's guards...
