Fallout 25th Anniversary Celebrations

Bethesda is getting ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary since Fallout’s release with a series of promotions, giveaways and community events. To kick things off, they bring us some Fallout 76 freebies and promise a new Fallout Shelter update.

More on that:

In October of 1997, players first encountered Fallout’s post-nuclear world and its memorable characters, irradiated monstrosities, impactful conversations and stark reminders that war…war never changes.

25 years later, the Fallout series is a best-selling franchise that not only helped define PC role-playing games and spawned entries across multiple console generations, but also has made its way to tabletop games and even an upcoming television series. Join us as we ring in a milestone year for Fallout throughout the entire month of October!

A MONTH-LONG CELEBRATION

That’s right, we’re not just celebrating Fallout’s birthday, we’re celebrating Fallout’s birthmonth. Each week in October, you can visit fallout25.com to learn what we’ve got planned for that week’s festivities.

Speaking of which, don’t forget to join the party on social media.
