The company maintains the premiere for December without a specific date, but he advances that New Vegas will be a central stage in both scenes before and after to nuclear war, something that can be seen in the released frames.
Among the locations that have already been seen are the entrance to the Strip and Michael Angelo's workshop, as well as references to key points on the neon boulevard that players will immediately recognize.

New Vegas in History: Locations and Canon
The series creators have stressed that season 2 is set 15 years of the events recounted in Fallout: New Vegas, so the city will not be a carbon copy of the 2010 video game; the world has continued to change and there is no single ending to the game.
The creative team insists that the series is part of the canon official of the franchise, but explores consequences of its own stories, something consistent with the branching nature of the titles in the saga.
Among the enclaves with direct nods to the game are the Lucky 38, The Tops or the famous Dinky the T-Rex by the roadside, elements that could be seen both in their pre-war splendor and in their version of the wilderness.
Additionally, the showrunners have confirmed that Mr. House will be present in the new episodes, a key piece to understanding the power dynamics in the neon city.
What the photos show: plot lines
One of the snapshots shows Lucy and Ghoul marching through the wasteland towards New Vegas in a less than friendly conversation, a reflection of the search and settling of scores that are intuited for this batch.
In other images we see Maximus already as a knight of the Brotherhood of BelovedWhile Hank appears with an imposing bearing and with references to the armor used to escape at the end of the first season.
They have also been shared flashbacks with Cooper Howard and his wife in old Las Vegas, where the iconic sign of the Lucky 38 reflected in the window of a car, highlighting the contrast between past and present.
On the other hand, it is suggested that Standard has managed to escape from Vault 31, and there is no shortage of hints of wasteland creatures such as the Deathclaws, which fans have been waiting to see in the series for a long time.
