Fans curious about the Fallout TV series timeline and when the new show is set will find the need-to-know information here. Also, for those wondering if the TV series is connected to the games, like Fallout 3 or New Vegas, and in the same universe or canon, here’s what we know so far.
When is the Fallout series set in the games’ timeline?
The Fallout TV series timeline is set in 2296, after the events of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, which occurred in 2277 and 2287 respectively.
This means that the upcoming Fallout TV series serves as a sequel, taking place after the events of both games. This confirmation comes from the writers of the Fallout TV series, Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner. They confirmed in a recent interview with The Direct that the show is set after the games’ events. Therefore, fans who have played the previous Fallout games can anticipate an entirely fresh narrative in the upcoming TV adaptation.
Is the Fallout series connected to the original games?
The upcoming Fallout TV series takes place after the events of Fallout 4, thus maintaining a connection to the original games while offering a fresh perspective on the narrative.
Considering the significant gap from previous game events, the likelihood of significant crossover details is probably low. It’s worth noting that the creators have deliberately avoided incorporating specific game endings based on player choices. Essentially, the series prioritizes its own original narrative rather than leaning heavily on past game content.
The TV show’s timeline should mean that the series is accessible to both fans of the show and newcomers.
