Is the Fallout TV show canon?
In a word, yes the Fallout TV showiscanon to the games.
Its also the latest chronological entry in the franchise, being set in 2296.
“We view whats happening in the show as canon,” Bethesda director Todd Howard toldVanity Fair.
“The show is built on like 25 years of creativity and thinking and building.”
“And we sort of thought the best thing to do is to continue that, versus retread it.
Because thats sort of what has worked with Fallout over the years.
Its traded hands, its changed, its been altered, and its a living thing.
Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other.
Its almost like were Fallout 5.”
So, yep, this is about as canon as it gets.
