Fallout is not set in an illusory future, but in the future of a different time period – when American culture never left the 1950s and the world technology oriented towards round chimneys and colorless TVs. Each new game tells us a bit more about this parallel world, sometimes tweaking things in the game, and Fallout 76 will add new milestones to the story. From the trailer, we know Fallout 76 kicks off on October 27, 2012, which happens a lot earlier than previous titles. It’s 59 years away from the original Fallout, and 185 years before Fallout 4.

Here are the milestones of the main events in Fallout. Although the game references events that take place back in the 14th century in the game (like the Mothership Zeta expansion in Fallout 3 about an alien abduction), most of the history in the Fallout world is exactly the same. with our real world until the end of World War II. Since 1947, transitions have been happening more rapidly in our world, but not in Fallout, and the divergence begins in the 1960s, between reality and Fallout.
1961
Captain Carl Bell of the US Aerospace Industry (USSA), piloted Defiance 7, became the first man to go to space. According to the Fallout 3 Tech Museum, “this news was repeatedly denied by the Soviet Union and China.”

Continents were engulfed in flames and engulfed in boiling oceans. The human race was almost extinct, the souls of the people became part of the radiation that covered the earth.” Also on October 23, 2077, Nuka-Cola Quantum hit the market.

The furthest fallout event in Fallout is fantasy, but if you do a great job with the Old World Blues expansion in Fallout: New Vegas and fully raise Blind Diode Jefferson, and then the ending that talks about how the AI ”has been” created a counter wave to save Big MT from sonic invasion in 2910. If you haven’t heard of it – fine.”
