The Fallout TV series on Amazon has unearthed a long-standing mystery that has puzzled gamers for over two decades. In its first season finale, the show may have finally shed light on who triggered the nuclear devastation plaguing the Fallout universe.
Since the inception of the Fallout video game series in 1997, players have speculated about the origin of the cataclysmic event that transformed the world into a post-apocalyptic nightmare. Conflicting theories have emerged, with some attributing the disaster to China and others pointing fingers at the United States.
With the Fallout TV series now considered canon by Bethesda, the show’s revelation carries significant weight. During a pivotal scene in the finale, Vault-Tec executive Barb proposes the idea of initiating a nuclear catastrophe to monopolize the post-apocalyptic world, positioning Vault-Tec as a key player in the devastation.
This bombshell revelation suggests that Vault-Tec, the enigmatic corporation behind the vaults that shelter survivors, may have orchestrated the apocalypse to further its own interests. The scene, rich with corporate intrigue, paints Vault-Tec as a Machiavellian entity willing to manipulate global destruction for financial gain.
As fans eagerly anticipate a second season, the Fallout TV series promises to delve deeper into the lore of the games, potentially offering more insights into Vault-Tec’s nefarious schemes. For now, the revelation hints at a darker truth behind the Fallout universe, leaving audiences eager for more revelations in the seasons to come.
