Following the hugely successful Fallout series, Amazon Prime Video is working on a new project that takes the franchise in an unusual direction. According to leaked information from industry insiders, the company is developing a reality competition show based on the popular Fallout Shelter game, available on mobile and desktop platforms.
Fallout Competition Coming Soon
This report, shared by Jeff Sneider and confirmed by reliable sources, shows that Amazon wants to leverage the brand’s potential in different formats, not just fictional series. Expected to follow a real competition format rather than a fictional scenario, the program will see participants struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic shelter.
The basic premise of the competition directly parallels the mechanics of the Fallout Shelter game. Contestants will face tasks such as keeping the shelter’s inhabitants alive, supplying essential resources like water and food, and ensuring the shelter’s security.
Leaked information about the production process suggests the show could take place across multiple shelters or within a single, massive shelter. Amazon’s move is seen not just as bringing a mobile game to the screen, but also as an attempt to gain an advantage in format diversity in the competition with HBO’s giants like The Last of Us.
Meanwhile, Bethesda is working hard to maintain a strong link between games and television productions. Simultaneously with the second season of the ongoing main series, a “Viva New Vegas” season has been added to the Fallout Shelter game, incorporating popular characters like Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul.
