The serial publication take position in 2296 , following the Vault Dweller Lucy as she venture into the wasteland of former Los Angeles . The series features references to games in the franchise , seemingly posturing it as part of the prescribed timeline of the universe .
Speaking withIGN , Howard and Nolan tone the connection the television adaptation has to theofficialFallouttimeline , clarifying where it fits together with the biz series . The executive manufacturer explained what it was like balance mind for the serial publication while making certain they did n’t break the canon of the games . They also corroborate that the bombing of Shady Sands did occur in the official timeline , just after the effect ofNew Vegas . Check out what Howard and Nolan had to say below :
Todd Howard:[W]e sing through it and it was , ‘ This would be a pretty impactful level here and now that a tidy sum of affair drop anchor on . ' We ’re thrifty about the timeline . There might be a little turn of discombobulation in some places . But everything that happened in the previous games , including New Vegas , come about . We ’re very deliberate about that . All I can say is we ’re thread it tighter there , but the bombs accrue just after the upshot of New Vegas …. [ I want something that ] would stand up as another ledger entry in the series as oppose to retelling one of the game we did and sort of treat it like we do a secret plan and move the timeline forward and do some cracking things . And that ’s what [ Nolan ] was thinking as well .
Jonathan Nolan : Everyone who worked on Fallout , all the games , were so venerating and so careful to keep this consistent cosmos . If we ’d gone a unlike direction , the show would be the only matter that does n’t fit with that cosmos … We did n’t want to be in our own individual corner of an elseworld or a unlike universe . I think that will be less meaningful to me watching the serial , to know it was entirely divorced from the world of the games .
What The Fallout TV Series Being Canon To The Games Means For The Franchise
The unexampled TV series was antecedently indicated to be in the same canon of the game , with the show itself produce plenty ofreferences to theFalloutgames . The secret plan also precede familiar name and localisation , with Shady Sands , Vault - Tec , and Mr. House all making significant appearances in the series . Just the front of ideas central to the plot series , coupled with the show taking place after the event of everything that ’s come before , signaled it could be canon to the games ' timeline .
With Howard and Nolan ’s clarification , it seems theFalloutseries is key to the overarching plot of the dealership , just as important to the timeline as the games are . This intend the pin of Shady Sands as well as revelation about the Great War of 2077 are all part of the same timeline as the plot series . It also localize the degree for the previously announcedFallout 5 , which can now freely reference the goggle box present characters and effect , since they both take place in the same man .
Given the confirmation of how official the series ' history is to the rest of the timeline , it ’s possible the show is setting the microscope stage for what happens in future games . The possibility ofFalloutseason 2could also strengthen the timeline , having Lucy ’s story go weaving its way into ideas that could then making their way into succeeding games . Now that the show ’s position in the timeline has been confirmed , it could start making even more direct reference to the game series and what played out in potential future time of year .
