There’s still no trailer for it, but Amazon’s one screenshot for the Fallout TV show may provide a couple of clues to its premise.

In case you weren’t aware, Bethesda has spent the past month celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Fallout series. Said celebrations have ranged from special in-game content for Fallout 76 to an announcement of a next-gen update for Fallout 4.

Since Amazon is making a TV show based on the series, the anniversary celebrations would be the perfect time to share some new details on that. Maybe even with a trailer.

Amazon clearly had the same idea but rather than a teaser trailer, it’s gifted fans with a single image that doesn’t even show the actors’ faces.

Anyone familiar with the games will at least recognise that the group is inside of a Vault, one of the bunkers humanity hid in to survive the nuclear apocalypse.

The entrance to the Vault has opened up, although its unclear whether the silhouetted figure is responsible, nor whether they opened it from the inside or the outside.

Regardless, this no doubt suggests our main characters are residents of a Vault and will soon leave to explore the outside world. Which, honestly, we all expected, right? It wouldn’t be Fallout if they spent the whole show stuck inside.

One other tiny detail that’s easy to miss is a pair of legs that can be seen poking out of the side along the floor. Whether the person they belong to is unconscious or dead is impossible to tell, but perhaps this points to our silhouetted figure forcefully opening the Vault.

Eagle-eyed fans will also notice that the characters have the number 33 on their back. Leaked set photos had given this detail away before, but it reaffirms that the show will centre around residents of Vault 33.

This Vault has never featured in any of the Fallout games, so this points to the show telling an original story rather than an adaptation of a specific title. This should hopefully give the writing team more freedom in what they’re allowed to portray, as well as ensure there are surprises for even die-hard fans of the games.

Amazon still has yet to announce a release date for the series, which will air on Amazon Prime. Considering filming only began in July of this year, you shouldn’t expect it to come out any time soon.

Barring any major disasters, however, it’ll be out before Fallout 5 at least.
