Fallout is well received TV series that takes place in the universe of well-known video games. However, it’s very popular not only among players. So, many people have questions related to the storyline. Thanks to us, you will know if the show is based on Fallout 4.

Is the Fallout Show Based on Fallout 4?

Fallout TV show is a separate story, and it isn’t based on any game from the series. According to the timeline, it takes place in 2296. It means that events presented in this title are later than those of any games. However, due to the fact that the adventure is situated in former Los Angeles, there are references to three installments of the series – Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. Thanks to that, you will learn about the sad ending of Shady Sands, and the latest story of the New California Republic and Brotherhood of Steel factions.

Of course, the show features also many small elements which will be recognized by gamers. For example, Mr Handy or the failure of pump in Vault 33 (a reference to the similar situation in the first Fallout)

Fallout 3 and 4 take place on other side of the US. So, the events of the games do not affect the plot of the TV series.

Ending of Fallout show, where Brotherhood of Steel destroys New California Republic division, may refer to the now rather forgotten final of Fallout called Steel Plague. In this non canon niche storyline, Brotherhood of Steel in 2180s destroys the New California Republic and brings the wasteland into the Dark Age.
