Fallout 3 fans are probably raving after that second season finale, where after eight weeks comes a teaser for the setting of the show’s third season.
The second season finale of Fallout managed to pay off a few plot threads that were set up in previous episodes, but there are still a lot of stories that are left unresolved.
The episode sets up a lot of mystery for the third season, which will enter production in California next year. And what’s more, we have a rough idea where the season will be set.
I’ll prop up a big ol’ spoiler warning here, as we’re about to dive into what exactly happened at the end of the finale.

So, as we saw in that season finale, after two seasons of searching for his family in the post-apocalyptic remains of California and Nevada, the Ghoul finally gets a step closer to finding them.
Finding their empty cryopods beneath the Lucky 38 casino, he instead finds a postcard pointing to Colorado as their possible location, setting that up as the next destination for the show.
As any Fallout fan knows, Colorado has appeared in the series before as a major setting in Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. It’s technically not canon to the rest of the series, but elements of the game’s story have appeared in the Bethesda games.
In particular, Fallout Tactics features Vault 0, a giant underground vault located in the Rocky Mountains and was intended for the geniuses of the pre-War to be kept in cryogenic stasis after the bombs dropped.
So, it seems as though Fallout Season 3 could potentially adapt elements of Fallout Tactics, with the plot of the show taking place almost a century after the game.

Meanwhile, a mid-credits scene also teases the return of Liberty Prime, a giant combat robot which appears at the end of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.
We see blueprints for a more advanced evolution of the machine, which is apparently still in the hands of the Brotherhood of Steel.
Its possible return in the TV series could hint at more elements from the East Coast games potentially coming to the series in future seasons.
It was last seen in Fallout 4, which takes place around a decade before the events of the show, where it takes part in the Commonwealth Brotherhood of Steel’s war against The Institute and its army of synths.
