Bethesda Confirmed Fallout New Vegas Is Part of Canon

The Fallout TV show launched on Amazon on April 12, and while it is generally well-accepted, passionate fans of the franchise have some issues with it.

Players accused the creators of changing the events of Fallout: New Vegas, one of the most popular games in the franchise developed by Obsidian Entertainment. You see, the sixth episode of the show mentions the fall of Shady Sands, the capital of the New California Republic (NCR).

As IGN pointed out, in the show, taking place in 2296, the destruction of Shady Sands has scattered the NCR, and it’s not clear if the remaining group is all that’s left of the NCR or just a fraction of it. Fans argue that this retcons New Vegas’s events; they raise a question of whether the showrunners just excluded the game from the canon.
