Fallout

Fallout Guía y cronología

The world ended, but people still want power, a place to live and a story that explains what went wrong. Fallout explores a ruined America through retrofuturist technology, dark jokes and communities built from the remains. Its role-playing games and television stories meet that world through different characters and regions.

Fallout: choose a life in the wasteland

Choose a main Fallout game whose setting interests you, or begin TV Season 1 and continue its seasons. The main games have different protagonists rather than one hero whose entire life must be played.

Games and Show organize formats; they do not automatically declare every derivative product canonical or separate.

Overview & recommendation

Fallout's recurring history matters, but a new region and protagonist can provide a new beginning. You do not have to settle every dispute about the world's factions before making your own character's choices.

The television story has its own starting cast and continuing seasons. Derivative games, unknown dates and updates to live titles complicate a universal chronology, so the earliest setting is not automatically the best personal entry point.

Choose one main game or the first television season, then follow that experience. Use the year view to compare regions and eras afterwards rather than treating Fallout 76's early period as compulsory preparation for everything else.

Game stories and television seasons Formats with title-specific canon questions

The selected games and TV seasons share this overview by format. Tactics, Brotherhood of Steel and other derivative products need individual canon context rather than conclusions drawn from their presence in a group.

  • Games (21 entries)

    The represented Fallout game products, with different protagonists, settings and derivative-canon qualifications. Live updates can extend beyond an initial setting.

  • Show (3 entries)

    The television story in season sequence, with later season placement qualified where an exact year is not established.

A protagonist's starting point 24 entries

Pick the story and region you want to explore. For television, keep its seasons sequential; for games, an earlier published title is not always a required campaign before a new protagonist.
