This has resulted in an extremely dedicated fanbase who love to pay tribute to the franchise in different ways. For example, there was one Fallout fan who made a custom Brotherhood of Steel LEGO set, complete with Liberty Prime. It’s interesting to see how individuals with different talents choose to pay homage to Fallout.

There are some cool details here that fans of the games are sure to recognize, like the power armor station and several of the Awesome Tales magazines from Fallout 4.
Fallout Vault Boy Diorama
At this point, Vault Boy is synonymous with Fallout. The cartoon image of the character with the outstretched thumb is instantly recognizable as being part of the Fallout franchise, which is why he appears so often in Fallout fan creations. There was even one gamer who turned Red Dead Redemption 2‘s Arthur Morgan into a Fallout Vault Boy, in a particularly interesting crossover.
It has been six years since a new game was released in the Fallout franchise, and nine since a mainline entry. Bethesda has been busy over the last few years with Starfield, and it is set to be occupied for a while yet with The Elder Scrolls 6. That makes any mainline Fallout game unlikely for the time being. Even the success of the TV series doesn’t appear to have kicked anything into gear. Earlier this year, it was revealed that once upon a time, Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian was interested in making a Fallout game. It would be interesting to see if Bethesda approaches another third-party studio to continue the IP while it develops The Elder Scrolls 6.
