Bethesda’s Todd Howard has called Fallout’s recent renaissance “beyond anything [he’s] ever seen in [his] 30 years of doing this”.
This renewed interest in the series all came about thanks to Amazon’s Fallout adaptation. The show’s success – which saw 65 million viewers tuning in in its first 16 days of release – led to droves of players venturing into one or many of Fallout’s wastelands, to find out what delights were in store.
Fallout 4 actually became the best selling game in Europe at one point in April, despite having been out for almost a decade. Meanwhile, earlier today, it was announced that Fallout 76 has now welcomed 20 million total players, several years after its initial release.
