Let\u2019s take a closer look at where the show fits in the overall Fallout timeline.\u00a0 What year does the Fallout television series take place in? This question was answered by Emil Pagliarulo on X (formerly Twitter), who works as a studio design director for Bethesda Game Studios. He listed the timeline of every Fallout game and the show, noting how the show takes place almost 300 years after the war in the year 2296.\u00a0 This year puts the television show at the end of the current Fallout timeline chronologically. What happens in the series occurs 135 years after Fallout 1, 55 years after Fallout 2, 22 years after Fallout 3, 15 years after Fallout: New Vegas, and nine years after Fallout 4.\u00a0 Despite being the most recent game, Fallout 76 is the earliest title in the timeline, taking place in 2102, only 102 years after the nukes first fell. This also makes Fallout 76 the furthest from the events of the show on the timeline, with a fairly significant 192 years between 76 and the series.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ps8R9wLG73sFfNdrvYyCdh-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1196981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2305"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1196981"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1196981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1197118,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1196981\/revisions\/1197118"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1196987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1196981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1196981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1196981"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1196981"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1196981"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1196981"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1196981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
