Fallout 76 was deeply disappointing when it arrived in November 2018, in ways similar to how the Star War s sequel trilogy disappointed just about everybody. Despite being several years older and based on older technology, Fallout: New Vegas is widely regarded as the deepest and best game in the long-running series.įans of the game series have waited for strong new content for years now, since the debut of Fallout 4’s Nuka-World add-on in August 2016. Fallout: New Vegas (2010) was set in a bombed and rebuilt Las Vegas Fallout 4 (2015) was set in the Boston metro area and caused its own sort of pandemic. Fallout 3 (2008) moved the story to Washington, D.C.
The original Fallout debuted way back in the gaming stone age of 1997, and Fallout 2 came out the following year. The different Fallout games are set in different time periods and different geographical settings. The post-war world is a toxic, bombed-out mess with factions fighting for control and mutant wildlife trying to kill you constantly. It’s not clear who started the war or who won it. Brief background: Fallout is a series of open world role-playing video games set in an alternate timeline after the United States, the Soviet Union, and China fought a brief but extremely destructive nuclear war in 2077.
