Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! 🤩 Samsung, in its infinite wisdom (or maybe just a desperate attempt to stay relevant), has teamed up with Amazon (aka Bezos’s World Domination HQ), Bethesda (who still owe us a decent Fallout game), and Xbox (because why not?) to create a “centralized hub” for Fallout fans. Prepare yourselves for the most corporate wasteland experience EVER! ☢️
So, get this: they’re mashing the TV show (which, let’s be honest, had some good moments but also some *questionable* writing choices 🤔) and the video games (read: Fallout 76, the game that keeps on giving… us reasons to facepalm 🤦♀️) together on one platform. You can watch the first season for FREE (with ads, because obviously they need to squeeze every last penny out of you 🤑), stream the new season (if you dare), and play the latest Fallout 76 expansion directly on your Samsung devices. Because nothing says “immersive post-apocalyptic experience” like playing on your phone while waiting for your microwave to finish 🍿.
From December 3rd to December 25th (because limited-time offers are always genuine and not at all designed to create FOMO 🙄), you can binge-watch Fallout Season 1 on Samsung TV Plus. That’s right, folks, free ad-supported content! Get ready to have your immersion broken every 10 minutes by commercials for questionable products and services! This is your chance to catch up on the drama before Season 2 drops later this month, promising even more plot holes and inconsistencies with the established lore! 🥳
And get this, Season 2 is coming out on December 17th (mark your calendars, folks, as if you didn’t already have enough streaming services to pay for 😒)! It’s supposedly going to move the story to New Vegas, which, if they mess it up, I’m personally holding Bethesda and Amazon accountable. To celebrate this monumental occasion, Samsung and Prime Video are blessing us with a joint marketing campaign, including digital billboards in Times Square! Because nothing says “nuclear apocalypse” like flashing ads in one of the most capitalist locations on Earth! 💸
Emily Aldis, some bigwig at Prime Video, spouts corporate buzzwords about “creative and groundbreaking approaches” and “seamless integration.” Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it. You want more viewers and more money. Tell us something we don’t know! 🙄
On the gaming side, they’re pimping out Fallout 76: Burning Springs, available through the Xbox app on Samsung Gaming Hub (because who needs a console when you have a… Samsung…Gaming…Hub… 🤨). The update features the Ghoul, voiced by Walton Goggins, because apparently, one medium wasn’t enough for him. Now he can disappoint us in both live-action AND interactive form! 🤪
Todd Howard, the man who keeps promising us the moon and delivering a moldy cheese sandwich, chimes in about portraying the world of the games accurately. LOL. Sure, Todd. That’s why Fallout 76 is a shining example of lore accuracy and engaging gameplay. 🤣
So, yeah, Fallout Season 2 is coming, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Will you be watching? Will you be playing? Will you be questioning your life choices? Only time will tell! But hey, at least we’ll have plenty of corporate synergy to keep us warm during the nuclear winter! 🔥
