Good news, Vault Dwellers. Prime Video<\/a> on Friday announced that a new reality competition series, inspired by Fallout<\/a>, Bethesda Game Studios\u2019 hit video game franchise and Amazon\u2019s sci-fi drama, will launch on its platform early in the new year.<\/p>\n

Fallout Shelter: The Experiment is the official title, and its 10-episode season will drop the first four episodes on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2027, with three new episodes dropping weekly through Wednesday, Jan. 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is ending,\u201d the Pip-Boy animation in the short video announcement says. \u201cThe competition is just beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Amazon<\/a>, Fallout Shelter: The Experiment will invite \u201ceveryday participants to test their aptitude for the apocalypse in Vault-Tec\u2019s state-of-the-art bomb-proof vault shelters.\u201d The series will pit the competitors against each other in \u201ca series of high-octane drills, psychological dilemmas and morally challenging behavior trials\u201d until there\u2019s one person remaining to receive the grand prize of $1 million.<\/p>\n

The timing of the announcement adds extra special meaning to Fallout fans, as Oct. 23, 2077, is known as Fallout Day in the fictional world of the video games and Prime Video\u2019s series. This is the day that the bombs dropped, marking the beginning of the Great War that turned America into an irradiated wasteland. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wanted to live the Vault Dweller lifestyle<\/a>, this show will probably be your cup of tea. Fallout Shelter: The Experiment is also the latest in a string of competition shows inspired by established genre properties; Netflix\u2019s Squid Game: The Challenge and Wonka\u2019s Golden Ticket come to mind.<\/p>\n

Beyond the reality series project, Bethesda has announced fun global partnerships to commemorate the day, including a Fallout-inspired exhibit at the National Atomic Testing Museum<\/a> in Las Vegas and the return of the Fallout Cafe<\/a> to Tokyo\u2019s Tower Records. The game studio also has a new collaboration with Jones Soda, titled Project T.W.I.S.T.<\/a> (which stands for Taste-Worthiness Initiative for Shelter Transition), inviting people to help select the flavor for Nuka Twist \u2014 which will also reflect the Nuka Twist flavor, once it\u2019s revealed in-game.<\/p>\n

As for Fallout Shelter: The Experiment, the new spinoff project arrives at the beginning of 2027, which marks the 30th anniversary of the video game franchise (Fallout dropped on Oct. 10, 1997). With season 3 on the horizon, something tells me it\u2019s going to be a big year for all things Fallout.<\/p>\n
