After revealing its first images, the Fallout series has just made a big reveal that will change many things. It is especially the fans of the franchise who will be surprised.
In recent years, video games have been subject to numerous film or series adaptations. Soon, it will be the turn of the Fallout franchise, and it will be in live action. Moreover, recently, we were finally able to get the first images to sink our teeth into. In the process, Todd Howard, the director of the latest games in the license, took the floor to make a big announcement concerning the show. And this one will surely interest fans.
The Fallout series, canon or not?
For those in the background, the series is helmed by none other than Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (Westworld). It is therefore in good hands, and it will arrive on Amazon Prime Video. Many questions have been asked about her, starting with the link she would have with games. We know that it will fit well into the Fallout universe, but will offer an original, independent story. Until now, we could have suspected it, but will it be hot? In short, will it be part of the same world as the titles signed by Bethesda?
The answer is yes, and it was Todd Howard himself who confirmed it to Vanity Fair. “ For us, the events of the series are canon. That’s what’s great, when someone else looks at your work and translates it in a different way “. In any case, our man seems very excited about us seeing the Fallout series, because he not only loved what he saw, he is also jealous of it. “ JI looked at it a bit and I said to myself “ah damn, why didn’t we think of that?” “. If even he comes to make such remarks, it must be worth the detour.
We can be confident, because before validating the project, the director had already been approached to adapt Fallout into a series or film. But he hadn’t fallen in love with it until we presented him with this oh-so-promising project. “ I had countless meetings with producers, or heard presentations, but none of them seemed like the right choice to make. “. He took precautions, and obviously, it paid off. See you on April 12, 2024 to see if he was right.
What plot for the series?
But then, what will this Fallout series tell? The first visuals are mouth-watering, and as you can see above, Ella Purnell will play the main role. The character she plays, a young woman, is described as kind, although naive. Like many of her peers, she lives in a shelter, but she will have to come out to carry out a rescue mission. She will then have to face a world very different from the one we know today. A world that has experienced a nuclear explosion.
After the nuclear explosion, history jumps forward 219 years. What happened to humanity during these two centuries of misfortune? Lucy, played by Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), has no idea. She has lived her entire life in an underground vault where all her needs and desires have been fulfilled, while several generations wait for the day when they can safely return to the surface.
