Viva Las (New) Vegas, baby — Fallout is almost back, and this time we’re heading into the Mojave! Ahead of the release of Fallout Season 2 on Prime Video next month, Amazon has dropped a fresh new trailer for the latest instalment of Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner’s live-action take on Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG franchise. And as well as giving us a much better look at the ‘buddy road trip’ that awaits Lucy (Ella Purnell) and The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) as they head into New Vegas, it also gives us our first look at Wasteland newcomers Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin. Check it out below;
And to think we used to live in a world where we thought Paul W.S. Anderson’s Resident Evil flicks were as good as video game adaptations were ever gonna get, eh? Seriously though, what more could Fallout fans want? Lucy and The Ghoul are heading for New Vegas, she in search of her father and he still looking for his own family; Aaron Moten’s AWOL Brotherhood of Steel soldier Maximus is still on their tail, wrestling with monsters and his emotions; Justin Theroux’s about to big-bad it up as big-bad Mr. House; and we’re about to see Macaulay Culkin enter the fray as a footsoldier of the brutal Legion. Plus, unless we are very much mistaken, it sounds like we may be about to meet our first Super Mutant this season, too. [Take a closer listen at around 1:11 approx.] As for who Kumail Nanjiani is playing, speculation suggests he may be playing Fallout 4‘s East Coast Brotherhood of Steel leader Arthur Maxson, but that much remains to be seen.
With a third season of Fallout already greenlit and well on its way, there’s no end in sight for the post-apocalypse anytime soon. And honestly, if it carries on being the end of the world as we’ve known it so far, then we’re more than happy to crack open a Nuka-Cola and lock in for as much irradiated sci-fi shenanigans as Amazon are prepared to give us. Roll on Fallout Season 2, which is set to hit Prime Video just in time for Christmas on 17 December.
