Fallout season 3 is in the works and, by the sounds of things, it’s got some surprises in store.
That’s according to Bethesda Game Studios head Todd Howard, who not only teased to Entertainment Weekly that season 3 “is gonna start shooting soon,” but also hinted at what’s to come.
“We talked about this at the end of season 2, hinting we’re going to new places,” Howard shared. “So one of the things that we all love about Fallout is the geography of the world and being able to show some new things in the Fallout world that I think will surprise people, that they’ve never seen before in the games.”
During the Fallout season 2 ending, the Ghoul sets off for Colorado, while Max and Lucy are faced with the approaching Legion.
“We know The Ghoul is heading to Colorado, ideally, but in the Wasteland, thou shalt be sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time,” co-showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet has teased of season 3.
“He still needs to figure out exactly where he’s going,” she added. “Of course, Lucy and Max and many of our other characters are not necessarily heading to Colorado, so we’re very excited to unveil new locations next season. In Fallout, you’re always journeying and exploring and building your map out bigger, so that’s what we want to be mimetic of.”
There are some newcomers confirmed for season 3, too, with Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul set to join the cast, along with The Acolyte’s Manny Jacinto, Paddington in Peru’s Emily Mortimer, and Jojo Rabbit’s Thomasin McKenzie.
