During the filming of the Fallout series, the people who created the setting of the second season over 15 years ago were invited. The Executive Producer from Bethesda, who has overseen the series since the third installment, wants to acknowledge their work.
Which developers were invited to the set? In the second season of Fallout, the eponymous location comes to life, which was introduced in 2010 in the popular Fallout spin-off “New Vegas”. Unlike the other installments developed by Bethesda after the third part, the spin-off was created at Obsidian Entertainment.
To this day, Fallout: New Vegas is very popular among fans, thanks to the newly reinterpreted setting of Las Vegas. Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer for Bethesda, is also aware of this. He recognized that the original creators of New Vegas should also have the chance to step into their beloved work in reality, as he told PC Gamer: “They did an incredible job on New Vegas.”
Here you can see the trailer for the second season of Fallout on Amazon Prime:
Fan theory that Bethesda isn’t a big fan of Obsidian due to New Vegas’s popularity is not true
What is Howard’s stance on Obsidian’s work? Todd Howard speaks contrary to assumptions that Bethesda is not a fan of them due to New Vegas’s popularity, expressing his utmost respect for the developers. Due to their incredible work, as he himself stated, the creators of New Vegas should also witness the live-action adaptation:
Great respect to the folks at Obsidian. I invited them to the set so they could see it, and they had just an incredible year, looking back at it.
– Todd Howard in conversation with Elie Gould from PC Gamer
He also assures that there are no disagreements or any form of jealousy between the two studios:
When we wanted to tackle [New Vegas], we had just finished Fallout 3. We knew we were going to make Skyrim. We know the folks at Obsidian well, we really appreciate their work, so we contacted them and said: “Hey, would you like to do this? We see something else coming out of Fallout 3.”

How does the community view this action? The Fallout community on Reddit tries to imagine how the developers must feel at that moment, being able to step into their world they created years ago:
“I can’t imagine how they must have felt when they entered the set of a project they released 15 years ago,” writes Ksrugi. And ContinuumGuy also finds the action great, “Man, I can’t even imagine how incredibly cool it would be to see your work realized in live action.”
A comment from montybo2, which received nearly 1,000 upvotes, garnered the most agreement in the thread but offers a regretful note: “It’s a shame Matt Perry passed away before he could see this.”
Matt Perry is primarily known for his role as Chandler from the 90s sitcom Friends. He was a huge fan of Fallout 3 and voiced Benny, the chairman of the city, in Fallout: New Vegas. He passed away in 2023 at the age of 54.
The second season of Fallout launches on December 17, 2025, on Amazon Prime, where you can already watch the entire first season if you haven’t done so yet.
