Fallout is a post-apocalyptic video game franchise created by Interplay Entertainment in 1997. Set in an alternate world where 1950s culture and technology persisted until a nuclear war in 2077, the series explores a devastated landscape and the survival of those who took refuge in underground shelters called Vaults. The gameplay combines open-world exploration, interactions with various groups and factions, and a strategic combat system. Now owned by Bethesda, the franchise is known for its dark humor, retro-futuristic style, and player-driven narrative choices that shape the story.
