The premiere of the second season of the Fallout series has sparked renewed interest in Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic universe. Many viewers who have discovered this world through television are now wondering what the best starting point is in the video games, a vast and diverse saga.

In response to this question, it was none other than Todd Howard, executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, who cleared the way. In a recent interview, the executive explained with clarity which game he considers most suitable for newcomers making the leap from the series to the controllers.

Bethesda recommends Fallout 76 as the first step after the series

According to Todd Howard, the most recommended title to start with today is Fallout 76. Although its original launch was surrounded by criticism, the game has undergone profound changes over the years and has become the project where Bethesda is investing the most resources and continuous support. The producer describes it as “the game we’re currently working on the most“, citing recent updates like Burning Springs as an example.

Another key reason is its community-focused approach. Fallout 76 allows players to share the wasteland with others, something Howard considers particularly appealing to those who arrive after watching the series and want to explore this world with company. Additionally, its dynamic and constantly evolving structure makes it the title where the studio is concentrating a significant part of its long-term effort.

With this recommendation, Bethesda makes it clear that Fallout 76 is no longer just a curiosity within the saga, but a solid and updated entry point for new players who want to continue exploring this universe beyond the screen.
