Fallout Show Dropping A Day Early, Available Tomorrow

thegamer.com:

The Fallout show's release date is being moved forward, now set to premiere on April 10. This means that we'll be able to watch all eight episodes of the first season from tomorrow, available from 6PM PT onwards.

This is ideal for fans in the US, but a little inconvenient elsewhere. If you want to be among the first to watch Fallout across Europe, then you'll be watching sometime after 2AM at the earliest. Still, getting it 24 hours ahead of time is an unexpected bonus, even if some of us will be sleeping through the nighttime premiere.

For those of you who will be awake for the show hitting Prime Video, Amazon is hosting a promotional event on the streaming service. It's not totally clear how it will work, but we're told that it will allow fans to "choose their faction" and interact with one another in a live chat. We'll have to wait and see which factions are available, but so far, we've seen the following in the trailers:

In various interviews, the crew behind the Fallout show have given us more details on what we can expect from the adaptation. Actor Aaron Moten previously told us that the power armour used in the show is real and was "exhausting" to wear on set. Production designer Howard Cummings went into more detail on this, explaining how it was one of the most functional suits its creators had been tasked with making.

Outside of the aesthetics of Fallout, the crew are adamant that the show captures the spirit of the games too. One of the showrunners, Graham Wagner, said that Fallout's satire is "baked into" the show and that its anticorporate themes are still present, despite it being made for an Amazon-owned streaming platform. In fact, Wagner says he loved the "absurdity" of putting a show like Fallout on Prime Video, so he's very aware of what fans expect from a Fallout adaptation.

Fallout will premiere on Prime Video on April 10. Every episode in its first season will be made available.
