Original Fallout Title Celebrates Anniversary
Anniversaries are a key part of the gaming space, and when you get the chance to celebrate the first game of a franchise? You take the opportunity to recognize and respect it. For many fans of the post-apocalyptic genre, Fallout is the standard bear that all other games can be held accountable to. The first game set the tone that another would eventually pick up and then make into something grander than anyone could’ve imagined. It might be hard to believe, but the first game was released 26 years ago. Proving once and for all that war never changes.
Before you ask, no, the game wasn’t made by Bethesda. They came around later. Interplay Productions actually created the game. Their desire for Fallout was simple. They wanted to make an RPG that wasn’t fantasy-based like so many others around them. As such, they went to the realm of post-apocalyptic stylings and then crafted an all-new universe that would stick around for decades to come.
On October 10, 1997, exactly 26 years ago from today, the first Fallout was officially released!
Happy 26th anniversary Fallout! And thank you to all the developers who have worked on the series as a whole to create something we all cherish!
