Fallout Is Experiencing A Massive Renaissance
The timing and release of a Fallout-themed mod for Arkham Knight isn’t all too surprising. Bethesda’s long-running franchise isexperiencing a huge boost in popularity following the release of Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show.
Fallout 76 crossed the 20 million player thresholdin the wake of the show’s success. At one point, the game, which was released in 2018,achieved one million players in a single day. Fallout games as a whole (Fallout 3, 4, New Vegas, etc.) topped five million players in one day as well.
As for the show,it became Amazon’s second most-watched title ever with 65 million viewers in its first two weeks. The show has already been greenlit for a second season, andTodd Howard revealed that there are active plans for a new Fallout game, though there’s “nothing to talk about right now.” Unfortunately, if fans are hoping for more Batman content, then they’ll have to make due with either the disappointingSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueor the mediocreGotham Knights.
