Hot off the heels of sharing the first images from the Fallout TV show, Amazon has now released the first trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game franchise. The teaser showcases post-apocalyptic California and the ghoulish, irradiated mutations that can be found within it.
It also introduces the main characters of the series, transfers viewers into a distinctly Fallout-flavored world, and more or less brings the game to life. While the series, from showrunner Jonathan Nolan (Westworld), is not based on any specific game, it is an original and canonical story in Fallout lore.
Still, while we aren’t visiting locations from the games (don’t expect them to wind up at the Washington Monument as we know it from Fallout 3, for instance), there are plenty of nods to the games. From the general aesthetic, the music, the types of characters and creatures and so much more, it’s clear this is aiming to be a faithful take on the world of Fallout.
We put on our superfan hats to document all of the nods, Easter eggs, and more to the gaming franchise. Take a look and sound off in the comments to tell us what we missed!
Fallout premieres April 24 on Prime Video.
