The executive producers of the upcoming Fallout TV series have revealed Todd Howard’s one rule for the show. Howard, the director of the Fallout games, is known for his steadfast defense of the game series mechanics, famously stating “it just works.” With the game series maintaining its popularity, a TV adaptation is in the works, set to premiere on Thursday, April 11.
Executive producers Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Lisa Joy shared Howard’s rule for the TV series in an interview with SFX Magazine. Robertson-Dworet mentioned that Howard emphasized the importance of not contradicting any game endings in the TV adaptation. Joy added that to honor the gamers' experiences, they decided to craft a new story within the Fallout world, rather than adapting a specific game storyline.
