The seeds for this series' creation were first planted well over a decade ago, per showrunner Jonathan Nolan (known for his work on the series Westworld and co-writing films like The Dark Knight), who noted during a press conference that he’s been a fan of the games for a long time.“I think it started, for me, with Fallout 3, which devoured about a year of my life. You know, I was an aspiring young writer at that point. It almost derailed my entire career. It’s so ludicrously playable and fun,” Nolan says.
Around five years ago, Nolan and Bethesda Game Studios' executive producer Todd Howard sat down at a lunch, coming away with a “handshake agreement” that the two would try to make a series happen.
Analysis: Set the world on fire
Ever since Microsoft’s acquisition of ZeniMax Media in 2021, the Fallout series instantly became one of the biggest Xbox franchises out there, so it was certainly important for this adaption to land properly.
Theteaser trailer for Falloutalready looked great, and now with the full trailer, I’m definitely excited. The tone, look, and sound appear to have been completely nailed, and I’m already extremely curious about what different factions like the New California Republic (NCR) and Brotherhood of Steel are up to here.
It’s enough to make me want to jump back in and play more Fallout 4, but I’ll continue holding out for thepromised current-generation update, which hopefully isn’t too far away.
