Amazon Gives Away Must-Play Game Ahead of Fallout Makes Its Comeback

If you are subscribed to Amazon Prime and looking forward to the forthcoming Season 2 of Fallout, you'll find an excellent chance just for you: The company is providing a fresh lineup of free games, featuring Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition.

While not strictly essential to grasping the storyline of the forthcoming dystopian show, players might consider snag the other Fallout game available in Prime Gaming's October update: the just-as-good and similarly wild Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition. What's more, Amazon Prime members get to keep their downloadable games permanently with Prime Gaming, allowing you to dive in and enjoy whenever.

New Season Details

The newest Fallout season, starring Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean and Walton Goggins as the mysterious bounty hunter referred to as The Ghoul, arrives on Prime Video on Dec. 17, with the third season announced to follow. That leaves plenty of time to jump into Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas lets you explore all the iconic locations and meet the eclectic characters shown in Fallout season 2's trailers and early screenshots.

One of the first images shown of the newest season depicts Walton Goggins' character, before the apocalypse, arriving at the iconic Lucky 38. This is not just a actual place explorable in Fallout: New Vegas — you can even barter and gamble, should fortune favor you — but it's the base of a key figure in the game: Mr. House.

Mr. House's Role

Mr. House was glimpsed in the initial episodes, but he has a major part in the game as the owner of the New Vegas strip. Given that Lucy, Maximus, and the Ghoul are traveling to New Vegas in Season 2, it's highly likely that Mr. House will be involved.
