Falllout season 2 release date confirmed with new trailer
The House always wins.
The wait is finally over – we finally have a confirmed Fallout season 2 release date – and now we wait until then.
The announcement came as part of an exclusive first trailer shown at Gamescom 2025: Opening Night Live, and saw series executive producer Johnathon Nolan, executive producer Geneva Robertson-Dworet, and actors Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten take to the stage to show off the big reveal.
Walton Goggins was thoroughly impressed by season 2, and when compared to season 1, it “blows it out of the water”.
And as for the date, Fallout season 2 is coming to Prime 17th December!
The trailer showed Lucy MacLean and The Ghoul as they make their way across the Wasteland to New Vegas, home of the enigmatic Robert Edwin House, as Lucy searches for her father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan).

As well as seeing the Wasteland as it is in 2296, there are also plenty of flashbacks to pre-war goings-on, with Cooper Howard visiting the New Vegas strip and meeting Mr House, who astutely pins him as a killer, even if he doesn’t know it himself.
The trailer also shows The Brotherhood of Steel making big moves, presumably in the New Vegas area, with its iconic Vertibirds and Airships bringing the Power Armour-clad troops into the fight.
New Vegas first appeared in Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas in 2010, with the player taking control of The Courier, who was to deliver the Platinum Chip to Mr House before being intercepted.
During the game, you can find the Mojave chapter Brotherhood of Steel, with its fate dependent on what choices you make, so it will be interesting to see if they make another appearance. The Radio Times Gaming team has explored just how the series might address the game’s many endings.
Another faction found in the game is Caesar’s Legion, a ruthless ensemble of former tribes that banded together to enforce its rule of law upon the wasteland, and who model themselves after the Roman Empire. Their iconic American football uniforms are on full show in the trailer.
But alas, there isn’t too long to wait to find out just how the showrunners navigate the perilous task of not upsetting gamers. It will be Fallout Christmas before we know it!
