The location and timing were most likely chosen deliberately, as the franchise has expanded beyond games.
The National Atomic Testing Museum in sunny Las Vegas is bringing the post-apocalypse to our current one with an exhibition about the classic post-nuclear role-playing game series, Fallout. We’re talking, of course, about Fallout. However, the exhibition will also attempt to teach us something about real life, which, as we all agree, is a dirty trick on the part of the museum.
“Through carefully selected objects and interpretive displays, the exhibit will bridge fact and fiction. Highlights include screen-worn Vault suits and memorabilia, as well as graphic panels exploring the recurring elements of the Fallout franchise and the key Cold War themes that influenced the world and its lore. The new exhibit will spotlight Fallout iconography, such as Vault Boy and the Wasteland, while drawing connections to bona fide 20th-century history. Visitors will experience how atomic culture has inspired art, entertainment, and the collective imagination,” wrote the organizers.
The exhibition opens on November 14, almost exactly one month before the December 17 premiere of the second season of Fallout, and it will run until 2026. That means we still have plenty of time to get there, although getting a plane ticket and a passport isn’t easy. Neither the location nor the timing seems coincidental. This is where the second season of Fallout begins. However, we also know that Lucy and her companions are headed to Las Vegas in that season.
After all this, we have to ask: What about the games? Microsoft was pleased with the success of the first season of Fallout and would like to release the games faster. However, Bethesda Game Studios is currently working on The Elder Scrolls VI, and Obsidian Entertainment has not been given the opportunity to develop Fallout: New Vegas 2.
