Introduced in 2020, the Fallout TV series created by Amazon Prime has captured the attention of loyal fans of the video game franchise. The teaser trailer debuted at CCXP 2023 showing the main character, Lucy Ella Purnell, exiting Vault 33. This confirmed that the series will follow a similar narrative to the games in the Fallout franchise, with player characters starting their adventure after leaving the Vault to explore the Wasteland.

The Dunia Games team will discuss facts about the Fallout series which will later be broadcast on Prime Video. Let's look at the article below in more detail.

1. Adapted from Game with the Same Title

The movie series entitled Fallout is a movie adaptation of the game with the same title. The game itself is a game developed by Interplay Production from 1997 to 1998, then he sold it to Bethesda who continued it into other series. You need to know, the Fallout game is also a role player game whose popularity continues to grow.

Since 2004, the Fallout game has switched genres to action role playing with the last series being Fallout 76 which was released in 2018, or the newest series being Fallout 5 which is still full of mystery. With its success as a game franchise, the Fallout game has tried something that is no longer new, namely presenting a live action version in the form of a series.

2. Not a Direct Adaptation of the Old Video Game

If usually movie adaptations of games will carry the story directly from the game, then this is different from the Fallout series. Explained by Todd Howard, director of Bethesda, the video game studio that made Fallout, he said on the Lex Fridman podcast that the show will not be a direct adaptation of the old video game "When people want to make it into a movie, they want to tell the story of Fallout 3 or tell Fallout 4 story,"

Continued Todd Howard "For this, we wanted to create something that was in the Fallout world. This isn't a rehash of the story from the game. It's basically an area on the map and it's like, 'Let's tell a story here that fits within the world we built and it doesn't break those rules. It can refer to things in the games, but it's not a repeat of those games. It's in the same world, but it's something unique, so it adds dimension to the story."

3. Fallout Series Synopsis

The Fallout series will most likely be centered in America in 2077, precisely after the nuclear conflict between the United States and China. The impact of the nuclear conflict that occurred caused most humans to disappear from the face of the earth, this was due to the explosion and radiation of nuclear bombs. So all of them who survived must of course be forced to live among improvised communities amidst the many dangerous mutant creatures or animals roaming around.

4. Presence of Retro Futuristic Style

Those of you who are curious about the Fallout series can of course see it from the trailer that was shared some time ago. There are quite a lot of interesting things about the trailer, but one thing that attracts attention is that there is something that clearly displays the retro futuristic style of a typical Fallout game.

What you need to know is that the story and visuals themselves seem to continue the futuristic feel with a retro touch, which is also accompanied by the best song, "I Don't Want To See Tomorrow" by Nat King Cole. The trailer also shows Vertibirds, VTOL planes with propellers changing positions and then a Nat King Cole song starts playing.

5. Iconic References from Iconic Roles

This symbol itself is actually the symbol of the Brotherhood of Steel, an iconic faction in the Fallout world that has an important role in every game.

Not only that, the existence of Vault-Tec, the company that created the Vault to protect humans from the nuclear apocalypse, also plays an important role in the Fallout series. The company's iconography includes the Vault Dwellers jumpsuit, the Vault-Tec logo mug, which appears to be present in various scenes. No less important, there are various iconic weapons and iconic mutated monsters such as Radroach and mirelurk.
