Fallout TV Show Sets April 2024 Release Date on Amazon Prime Video
The Fallout TV series finally has a release date. In a tweet, Amazon Prime Video confirmed that the live-action adaptation of the eponymous Bethesda video game franchise will premiere April 12, 2024, exclusively on the streamer.

As part of the announcement, Amazon Prime Video dropped a short clip resembling the screen of a Pip-Boy, the fictional wearable computer device from the game, which allows players to manage their inventory, adjust skills, and see the map.

Similarly, the Fallout series has launched social channels to keep fans updated, though the studio still hasn't released any footage for public viewing. A brief highlight reel was shown exclusively to attendees during a Starfield presentation, which showed the Brotherhood of Steel military troop trudging along in sync, a mysterious red ghoul character, and a woman shielding her eyes from some nuclear explosions firing off in the distance, while taking refuge in a shelter.
