Fallout Fans Spot New Vegas Reference In TV Show's Latest Trailer

Fallout's long-awaited television debut is almost here, with Amazon going all out to catch your attention. Its latest attempt to do so comes in the form of a new trailer, which features new characters, locations, story details, and a lot more that is bound to excite every Fallout nerd on the planet.

Quite what the NCR are doing fighting what appears to be the Brotherhood of Steel is unknown, as Fallout is set after the events of Fallout 4, but it seems as though they'll play some kind of role in the show's story.

If that wasn't made apparent by the first New Vegas reference, the second one definitely drives it home. While this one is more in plain sight, you might not have caught it if you're not up-to-date with your Fallout lore. This was also pointed out by VaultOfDaedalus in the replies to their original post, as closer to the beginning of the trailer (around the 38-second mark), you can see a sign that reads Shady Sands Public Library.

Fallout fans will know that Shady Sands is the official base of operations for the NCR, and one of the biggest cities in the region in which the Fallout TV show is set, so it's not too surprising that it features in the trailer. It does look pretty worse for wear though, which is surprising as
