We hope you enjoyed Fallout Season 2 as much as we did. Without dipping a toe into spoiler territory, it’s safe to say the series once again nailed that delicate Fallout balance: Pitch-black humour, retro-futuristic melancholy, and the constant reminder that in the wasteland, survival is never guaranteed. With the final episode landing this week, the inevitable post-season void is setting in, but fear not… The games are waiting for you…
Never Leave The Wasteland
For those who just can’t get enough Fallout after the conclusion of Season 2, this feels like the perfect moment to jump into the games or return to them. Riding the wave of renewed interest sparked by the show, Bethesda has dropped a brand-new live-action trailer designed to do exactly one thing: remind you why you fell in love with this universe in the first place.
As if the series’ nostalgia wasn’t already enough to get you craving more Fallout, Bethesda decided to push you over the edge. The trailer stars Aaron Moten, who plays Maximus in the Prime Video series, alongside a live-action Vault Boy. Together, they guide viewers through an overlook of all the games in a reference-packed room overflowing with Fallout memorabilia. The trailer is clearly aimed at reawakening that familiar urge: maybe it’s time to boot up Fallout again.

Five games to choose from
The trailer shines a spotlight on each of the Bethesda era Fallout games, offering a different flavour of wasteland:
- Fallout 3
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Fallout Shelter
Bethesda already offered us a Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition as the definitive way to experience the Commonwealth, while a 15th Anniversary Bundle for Fallout: New Vegas is on the horizon. Hopefully, an irresistible prospect for anyone itching to return to the Mojave.
Fallout Shelter: The House Still Wins
Fallout Shelter is also getting a timely boost. The upcoming update ties directly into the TV series, bringing Fallout: New Vegas content into the mix with “The House Always Wins” storyline elements. Even better, players will be able to unlock characters from the series itself, inviting familiar faces into their vaults.
Hunt for The Ghoul
Fallout 76 has also been riding that renewed Fallout momentum with the now-released Burning Springs update. Players can cross the Silver Bridge into a brand-new Ohio-inspired region, trading Appalachia’s familiar greenery for dusty highways, raider territory, and a harsher, more desolate vibe. The update also introduces Bounty Hunting, fronted by Walton Goggins as The Ghoul, who hands out contracts that send players after high-value targets across the wasteland. It’s a smart blend of TV-series star power and classic Fallout grit, and a strong incentive for lapsed players to jump back into Fallout 76.
Perfectly timed
Between the TV series, the nostalgia-soaked trailer, and meaningful updates across multiple games, Bethesda knows what it is doing. Whether you’re a veteran itching to revisit the wasteland or a newcomer inspired by the show, Fallout is once again making a very strong case for why its world remains so compelling. The bombs may have dropped long ago, but Fallout’s momentum is very much alive.
