Grab your Nuka-Cola and dust off that jumpsuit; the first full trailer for the second season of Fallout has finally plopped onto the internet!
Prepare for Wasteland Shenanigans
As the trailer’s description tantalizingly suggests, “Just about a month before you’re back in the Wasteland.” Because what’s better than wandering around in a nuclear-ravaged world? A sneak peek at insanity, of course! “Until then, please enjoy the official trailer for Fallout Season Two,” featuring a cast that includes the likes of Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins, among others. What a delightful bunch; no super mutants in sight!
Free Games Galore!
But wait—there’s more! The trailer drops simultaneously with Fallout 76 being handed out like candy on Halloween as one of the free games to snap up on PC via Amazon Luna. Remember, free is the magic word that gets everyone excited! (Don’t worry, this isn’t a typical “deal of the century” pitch that ends in a subscription.)
Last month saw the arrival of Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for download. They’re still hanging out, waiting for someone to claim them. It’s like being at a party where the snacks are just sitting there, looking forlorn, waiting for someone to make the right choices.
Mark the Calendar
Get calendars ready and mark December 17 for the grand return of the wasteland shenanigans on Prime Video, setting up camp in New Vegas this time. As if the Mojave wasn’t enough, the show’s priority clearly includes neon lights and casinos amidst the chaos. Because who doesn’t want to gamble in a post-apocalyptic setting?
Lengthy Teasers and Comparisons
A teaser trailer for Season Two was released back in August, and while it started off as a “teaser,” it was actually longer than this new shiny version. It’s like that one friend who says, “Just a quick five-minute story,” and then you’re committed for twenty. A real plot twist right there!
Renewed for More Madness
In a delightful twist reminiscent of pop-up ads, news surfaced earlier this year that the fallout adaptation has scored a renewal for a third season. Talk about confidence in nuclear wasteland storytelling! An actor revealed that his character’s arc is expected to wrap by Season 5 or 6. So it seems that long-term planning is not just for settlement building. When asked about his role, actor Aaron Moten (who plays Maximus) casually dropped, “[I was told] when I sat down to do the series, that we would have a starting point, and they gave me the end point.” Ah, nothing says stability like a carefully plotted route through an unstable world!
Character Development? Yes, Please!
And just when it couldn’t get any more entertaining, Moten continued, “[A]nd that end point hasn’t changed, but it is Season 5, 6, for the end point. We’ve always known that we’re going to take our time with the development of our characters.” Who knew that character development in a post-apocalyptic series could be a thing besides scavenging for food? How refreshing!
So, strap in and get ready for a wild ride through the rabble-roused terrors of the Wasteland where every corner offers a surprise (and probably a deathclaw or two). Here’s hoping the next season is filled with just as much lovable chaos as one can expect from a nuclear fallout!
