AlthoughtheFalloutshow brought the franchise to a new audience,Fallout games have been in production since 1997.

WhenFalloutseason 2 airs, the adaptation will break even more new ground.

Therefore,Falloutseason 2is the first franchise entry to pick up a story where the previous installment left off.

For example,2004’sFallout: Brotherhood of Steelgame was supposed to receive a follow-up, but it was canceled.

The protagonists in the games are customizable by the player and therefore don’t have a set appearance.

Another reason forFallout’s severe lack of sequels is that the games' storylines are often very fluid.
