The Fallout franchise has all the time been distinctive in its oddly genuine depiction of their model of the world and its numerous areas.
From Fallout 1, going down on the West Coast of California, to Fallout 4’s Jap Coast setting of Boston, followers have walked wastelands throughout America, main us to surprise the place this franchise will find yourself subsequent.
With Todd Howard already considerably confirming Fallout 5, we’ve all been theorizing concerning the subsequent potential location for this notorious franchise, so listed below are the highest areas we at DualShockers imagine could be the right setting for Fallout 5.

Hawaii
A Tropical Fallout Getaway
Take this location as our extra unique entry for this checklist. Whereas Miami and New Orleans are different unique American-based areas individuals think about, we really feel the state of Hawaii can greatest serve Fallout’s lore. With the present Fallout: Ashfall mod within the works, many people have a hankering for a Fallout Hawaii trip.
There are lots of intriguing locations to think about from a tropical Hawaiian Fallout title, like a preserved tropical lodge within the metropolis of Honolulu, just like New Vegas’s Sierra Madre DLC, untouched for years, and a potential political commentary on the American commercialization of Hawaii.
This setting may additionally give Fallout a singular, water-centric, island really feel, not like something we have had to this point. For these causes, a tropical Fallout sport will certainly be on our minds for the long run.

Russia
A Soviet Take On The Fallout Method
With the Metro and Stalker collection shining a light-weight on how wonderful nuclear/apocalyptic Soviet-Russian-themed video games could possibly be, many followers have connected this aesthetic to a possible Fallout project. Nice examples are the numerous Fallout mods meant to shift Fallout’s aesthetic nearer to those Russian video games.
With a Soviet-era aesthetic completely clashing in opposition to the intense post-WW2 period embodied by Fallout’s retro-futuristic aesthetic of 2070s America, this could be an ideal venture to reflect the video games we’ve already performed.
So, whereas a really unconventional concept, this retro-future Soviet setting in a metropolis like Moscow may probably be an incredible entry for a brand new Fallout sport.
8
Colorado
Fallout, In The Rockies
Colorado has plenty of potential as an fascinating location for a brand new Fallout sport. It may deliver gamers nearer to the middle of the US, the place we haven’t been earlier than. It may additionally give us an excellent follow-up to Fallout: New Vegas followers have begged for, with continued tales of the Legion and NCR.
Whereas we followers hope this potential sport is given to builders Obsidian, who’re chargeable for New Vegas, it is nonetheless a enjoyable idea to suppose that New Vegas’ wonderful story could possibly be continued with the NCR taking over the Legion in new territory.
7
Philadelphia
Anybody Need Radscorpion Cheesesteaks?
Alongside Boston and Washington, it is clear how a lot Bethesda loves cities in the direction of the japanese coast. So, alongside New York Metropolis, positioned in a while this checklist, it is onerous to flee the beckoning name coming from Philadelphia.
With locations just like the Freedom Path in Fallout 4, or the Capital and Washington Monument in Fallout 3, exploring Independence Corridor in Fallout 5 would slot in completely.
And similar to how Fallout 4 continues lore from Fallout 3, this could be an ideal alternative for Bethesda to proceed their self-contained a part of this franchise, with returning characters and factions.
6
Chicago
A Journey To The Midwest
Like the opposite nice American cities on this checklist, Chicago’s implementation lies largely in its deep-rooted historical past with the nation. Being tied to Ford’s motorcar meeting plant, it might be wonderful to see how this metropolis in Illinois, largely bolstered by the post-war economic system, may match into Fallout’s post-WW2 retro-future situation.
In addition to being an fascinating American metropolis on this checklist, Chicago’s fame within the Fallout universe has already been carried out with its significance for each the Brotherhood of Metal and the Enclave. This makes Chicago one of many high US cities that would undoubtedly use the Fallout remedy.
5
China
Let’s Lastly Determine Out The Full Story
China was a key participant within the 2077 Nice Warfare, which led to the nuclear situation of the world in Fallout. After WW2, China turned one of many largest superpowers. With China mirrored to America on this new Chilly Warfare, it is clear they’ve all the time been integral to the Fallout lore.
Because of this, a sport set in China may unfold rather more of the underlying story that Fallout has been alluding to this entire time. With intrigue into what really led to the bombs dropping, it is clear we’ve solely been in a position to piece collectively the story from our sources in America.
So, although builders would seemingly somewhat preserve the video games in America and plenty of the deeper lore hidden, a Fallout sport in China has the potential to alter all the things.
4
Seattle
Potential For A Fallout Skyline with the House Needle
Seattle is a singular potential Fallout location for causes not like the others, as it has an enormous quantity of untapped lore potential. Aside from easy geographic areas organising for a storyline with the NCR, not like many different States and International locations, there isn’t an excessive amount of we find out about Seattle. With the Mod Fallout Cascadia in improvement, it’s clear there may be potential for this space as a setting.
So a Seattle Fallout sport must do one thing we followers crave: create one thing virtually utterly new. New factions, settlements, and tales, arrange round wonderful geographical landmarks just like the House Needle, and the chilly Pacific Ocean, make Seattle a gem of a probable Fallout location.
3
Mexico
A Fiesta For The Fallout Franchise
Our curiosity in Mexico stems from related components to many different prospects: heavy pre-established lore and group curiosity. The Fallout: Nuevo México mod is proof of group curiosity, and it is onerous to shake how a lot affect this incredible nation has already had on the video games.
There are enormous connections to the NCR and New Vegas, with NCR Rangers generally despatched out to Mexico to patrol and declare land, just like how they do within the Mojave. With a wide range of potential new factions and a ton of nice desert land for that conventional Fallout really feel, Fallout in Mexico is without doubt one of the most enjoyable potential Fallout experiences.
2
New York Metropolis
A Fallout Full Of Skyscrapers
As talked about beforehand, Bethesda loves the north-eastern province of America. The attractive Appalachian mountains and monuments in Washington, although, are nothing in comparison with the skyscraping potential of one among America’s strongest cities.
With the recognized presence of Mutants in New York talked about by the Brotherhood in earlier video games, in New York, we would have plenty of basic enjoyable to look in the direction of. But, it is troublesome for a lot of video games to duplicate New York for an essential cause: the massive metropolis brings a subsequently massive scope.
But, that is precisely what makes Fallout in New York so intriguing. The potential of what the builders pull from the ashes of a retro-future New York is limitless, making New York a high contender for Fallout 5.
1
Texas
I Can See That Lone Star From A Thousand Miles Away
Followers need extra Fallout in Texas, and we at DualShockers do, too. It is onerous to shake the sensation that a sport just like Fallout: New Vegas would shine within the Lone Star State. With an ideal desert of oddities, lore, and that basic New Vegas western cowboy really feel, we’d love to go to Texas in a Fallout sport someday sooner or later.
Positive, we have technically already been to Texas with the spin-off Fallout: Brotherhood of Metal, however It is about time we re-established Texas because the true arbiter of the following Fallout sport. If the assumed true ending of New Vegas was the NCR victory, then it is secure to imagine we’d proceed their story, with or in opposition to them, towards the east.
If a Texas venture is given an opportunity, we hope the venture is given to Obsidian. Concerning Obsidian’s involvement in Fallout: New Vegas, Todd Howard has said:
Obsidian consists of fantastic storytellers linked to Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas, and we are able to’t understate how essential their involvement could be.
Whereas Fallout 5 is much into the long run, whether or not from Bethesda in a sport on the East Coast or given to Obsidian for the continuation of New Vegas, we hope, amongst them, Texas is very thought-about for Fallout 5, or perhaps a future Fallout venture.
