It was announced today on Twitter that Amazon Studios has given the green light for the adaptation of the classic and popular video game franchise ‘ Fallout ‘.
The series will be overseen by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, creators of the award-winning ‘Westworld’.
There is no confirmed release date yet, but the Variety portal has shared some details about what game fans can expect from the series.
According to the information related, the creative team intends to bring “the harshness of the wasteland set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy,” adding some “sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies”. It is also known that the third game, ‘Fallout 3’, will be the first to adapted, since it was the game that contributed to the massive success and popularity of the saga.
Launched in 1997, the first iteration received universal acclaim from critics. The audience success yielded another three sequels, as well as five derivative games.
