The second season of Amazon’s Fallout series concluded yesterday, and with it the mystery behind the countdown timer on the show’s official website. And as you might expect, it’s not led to anything as exciting as some were hoping for.
There was strong speculation online that the countdown would end with the announcement (and in some more hopeful corners, the release) of remasters for either Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas, neither of which transpired yesterday evening. Instead, fans of both the games and show were treated to recreation of one of New Vegas’ most iconic locations: the Lucky 38 casino penthouse, home to Robert House, before the bombs dropped.
Like other markers on the map on the official site, this is a simple but interesting interactive look at some of the popular locations from the show, with Vault 33 and Caswennan featuring previously. It’s not clear why this location in particular warranted a countdown for several weeks, especially since it’s a location that debuted in the show several episodes ago already.
