Fans of the saga are in for a treat as they wait for the Fallout series on Amazon Prime Video with a promising and very different new game.
Fans have been waiting impatiently for a new Fallout game for several years. As a reminder, this is a license initially developed by Black Isle Studios and then acquired by Bethesda Software. The software is set in a fictional future, more specifically in the post-apocalyptic United States devastated by nuclear war. The player’s goal is then to survive this environment, but especially the mutants.
While the first Fallout was well received when it was released in 1997, the sequels didn’t necessarily receive the same reception. It’s the latest title in particular, Fallout 76, that angered fans, at least upon its release. They then reported a disastrous experience full of bugs and connection problems. It is worth remembering that the software was also designed exclusively for multiplayer, a flaw that was also widely criticized. It is out of the question for the studio or the players to leave the license in this state. Since then, however, there has been little information circulating about Fallout 5 other than that it could release after The Elder Scrolls 6.
The perfect game to wait for Fallout 5?
In the meantime, fans can also experience something new in other ways, such as a new Amazon Prime series, but especially with the new board game: Fallout factions. After Fallout: Wasteland Warfare in 2018, publisher Modiphius returns with a lighter and faster title, the first package focusing on the war in the Nuka World amusement park. In every fight both sides have to roll the dice. The results are analyzed using the character’s luck statistics to calculate their damage.
Faction was created to appeal to as many people as possible, but especially to those who have never played board games before. “We wanted to create a game that was more suitable for small communities of friends” said the designer Polygon. The Fallout Factions – Battle for Nuka-World two-player starter set is already available for pre-order for $108.84 and will ship in mid-April. Unfortunately, importing an English version is mandatory as there is currently no French translation available.
We already told you, but the Fallout series will arrive soon, more precisely in April 2024 on Amazon Prime. Should the very well-known and, above all, post-apocalyptic universe of the games return, Todd Howard, CEO of Bethesda Games, has nevertheless confirmed that the production will tell a completely new story. The focus could be on the start of World War I, a thermonuclear catastrophe that occurred in October 2077 and changed the face of the world.
