According to a press release, Fallout Shelter will be set inside a replica of the hit game’s bomb-proof Vault-Tec vaults and see “a diverse group of contestants [enter] an immersive, high-stakes world inspired by the games’ signature dark humor, retro-futurism, and post-apocalyptic survival storytelling.”

“Across a series of escalating challenges, strategic dilemmas, and moral crossroads, contestants must prove their ingenuity, teamwork, and resilience as they compete for safety, power, and ultimately a huge cash prize.”

Fallout Shelter is being produced by Studio Lambert, the team behind reality hits The Traitors and Squid Game: The Challenge, and will “stay true to the tone, world-building, and choice-driven ethos that have defined Fallout for over 25 years.”

Casting for the show is now open. “The dwellers (contestants) live together in a top-secret vault, where they will compete in a series of games that tests the seven core attributes from the Fallout world – Strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L),” reads a description of Fallout Shelter.

“The series will not only test dwellers’ core attributes, but also their loyalty and alliances. It’s a game of power dynamics, popularity and social strategy which will ultimately result in a huge cash prize, but do you have what it takes to be the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L?.”

The second season of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout adaptation premiered late last year and will wrap up early next month. A mysterious countdown that coincides with the season finale is currently live on the dedicated season two website, with fans speculating that remastered versions of the classic Fallout games will launch when it reaches zero.

Fallout 5 is set to launch after The Elder Scrolls 6, which isn’t expected to release before 2028. However the follow-up to 2015’s Fallout 4 will be inspired by what happens in the live-action Amazon adaptation.

In other news, the first look at Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider series has been revealed.
