Fallout Fans Think The Show Just Made New Vegas Non-Canon

thegamer.com:

Fallout: New Vegas fans fear that the fan-favourite game has been made non-canon by the Fallout show. This is due to a new event added to the timeline by the show, which some fans say contradicts New Vegas or even erases it from the series altogether.

Spoilers for the entirety of the Fallout show ahead

In the latter half of Fallout's first season, we're taken to the wreckage of what was once Shady Sands. This is an area in the first two Fallout games and is also mentioned in New Vegas, as it becomes the base of operations for the New California Republic.

One of our main characters, Lucy, then finds a timeline on the history of the NCR, which lists the "Fall of Shady Sands" as starting in 2277. Since there's a doodle of an explosion next to this, many have assumed that this is the year the city was destroyed, taking out the NCR's capital city.

Since New Vegas takes place four years later in 2281 and makes no mention of this event, many assume that this means the show is creating a new timeline. Fans fear that this erases the events of New Vegas, a controversial move against one of the most beloved entries in the series.

Another aspect of the show that has fans worried is the fact that we do briefly see New Vegas, the location, at the end of the show. However, it looks pretty abandoned, even destroyed. Some argue that this is disrespectful to New Vegas, although others say it was an inevitable outcome regardless of what ending we got in the game.

Not all fans agree that this timeline makes New Vegas non-canon, and have brought up the following points:

We'll probably have to wait until season two drops for this argument to be put to rest. Until then, fans are picking apart the details in season one, debating what this means for the Fallout series going forward.
