The Fallout TV show is just off the production machine and has already made a big splash with gamers. Based on a faithful adaptation of the games of the same name, the show tries to bring a whole new story into the overall post-nuclear world. But the gamers among you may be confused by the show's timeline. After all, there are seven full games before the series. Well, I decided to put together the entire Fallout TV show timeline and explain it all to you. So let's take a look, shall we?
Fallout's Official Timeline Confirmed: How the Show Fits into the Games
Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for the new Fallout TV series on Prime Video, so we suggest you watch the show to avoid spoiling the intended experience.
The Fallout TV show shifts between two eras throughout the experience. The main era, after the nuclear war, takes place in 2296, 135 years after the game Fallout 1. This is the era where Vault 33 is introduced, and the rest of the events take place. This includes Lucy leaving the vault to search for her kidnapped father, Hank.
However, the flashback timeline takes place in 2077, at the height of tensions between the United States and rival countries. Throughout the flashback, we get a lot of details about the birth of Vault-Boy and his iconic Thumbs Up image, how Vault-Tec wants the world engulfed in war, and how they themselves want to drop nukes. It also follows Cooper's life before he transforms into a Ghoul, who has lived for the past 200 years.
