Amazon’s Fallout TV series is here, and it’s beloved by both new viewers and longtime fans of the franchise. The series introduces a new story to the canon, with Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul as the main characters. However, it’s easy to get lost in the franchise’s vast timeline.
The Complete FALLOUT Timeline Explained!
In the first episode, we learn that the series is set in 2296, exactly 219 years after the atomic bombs were dropped in the Great War in 2077. However, as the series progresses, there are some aspects of the story that seem to contradict other games in the franchise, most notably Fallout: New Vegas, which sparked debate over the timeline.
Thankfully, if you dig deeper into the lore, you’ll realize that all is safe and sound, and that no game or story has been deleted in the Amazon Prime Fallout TV show. Here’s why (though there will be some spoilers for the show ahead).
First, let’s take a look at the entire timeline so we can get a better picture of the events in the Fallout series. It all started in 2077, when nuclear warheads were dropped across the world to start the global apocalypse. Then, almost 100 years later, in 2161, the Vault Dweller, a protagonist in Fallout (1997), left Vault 13.
