- Amazon has released the first official poster for Fallout season 2
- It confirms the Prime Video show’s next entry will feature a key location from the games
- The series’ next trailer and official launch date could be revealed very soon, too
We’re less than four months away from Fallout season 2, but Prime Video has already started promoting the return of its hit TV series.
Fallout season 2 won’t make its debut until December, but Amazon MGM Studios is kicking off its marketing campaign early with the unveiling of its first official poster.
The artwork doesn’t provide any new information about the hugely successful Prime Video show’s return.
Sure, it confirms the show’s lead trio in Ella Purnell’s Lucy, Aaron Moten’s Maximus, and Walton Goggins’ The Ghoul – the last of that trio being accompanied by his trusty canine companion Dogmeat – will be back for more Wasteland-based adventures. The poster also reconfirms New Vegas, which was teased in the mid-credits scene of last season’s finale and is the setting of its Fallout video game namesake’s most beloved entry, aka Fallout: New Vegas, will be a key location in season 2. Those details aside, though, we know relatively little else about one of the best Prime Video shows’ next chapter.
Well, for the time being, because I believe we’re about to get some huge news about the Fallout TV show’s forthcoming installment in the days ahead.
When could Fallout season 2’s release date and first trailer be revealed?
I’ll preface this section by saying I have no insider knowledge on these matters, so read whatever you want into what I outline below.
With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, I’m convinced Fallout season 2’s first trailer and official launch date will be unveiled on Tuesday, August 19.
There’s evidence to back up my claim – the main piece being that the above Instagram post confirms season 2 will be part of Opening Night Live at gamescom 2025.
Europe’s biggest video game convention runs from August 20 to 24 this year. However, with Opening Night Live set to take place on August 19, I’m expecting any members of the series’ cast and/or crew invited onto the stage to announce an actual release date and, at the very least, drop some form of video teaser to whet our appetite for Fallout‘s return.
It makes perfect sense for a big announcement or two to be made at Gamescom. Microsoft, which owns Bethesda, aka the studio behind the Fallout game franchise, always has a major presence at Gamescom. Considering how well Fallout‘s first season was received, it’s in Microsoft and Bethesda’s best interests, as much as it is Prime Video’s, to start ramping up excitement for its sophomore season. What better way to do that than at the last big gaming convention of the year?
But, what do you think? Will we get a launch date confirmation and trailer reveal next Tuesday? Or am I jumping the gun? Let me know in the comments. Then, read my dedicated guide for Fallout season 2 and check out the below section for more coverage of the incredibly popular Amazon TV Original.
