So, what will we find out about Colorado in Fallout Lore? The video games have by no means taken us there, although one virtually did—and the state has been talked about a number of occasions, each in video games and within the Fallout present.
Colorado within the Fallout universe
Most notably, Colorado (together with Arizona, Nevada, and Utah) was the setting of Van Buren, codename of the unique model of Fallout 3 that was developed by Black Isle Studios, makers of the primary two Fallout video games.

Sadly, price range cuts meant the Vault wasn’t totally purposeful and a lot of the inhabitants suffered extreme mind harm, main The Calculator to change into unstable and harmful.
The Fallout TV present has additionally talked about Colorado, form of. We first see the Enclave outpost in Season 1, when Siggi Wilzig smuggles out the fusion diode, although we’re by no means informed it is truly in Colorado. It seems to be the identical outpost we see on the finish of the Season 2 finale.
And previous to Fallout Season 1 even airing, Colorado was talked about in a Prime Video characteristic referred to as “A Particular LIVE Report from Galaxy Information,” which you’ll watch on YouTube. The video is a faux gross sales pitch for Vault-Tec, although it feels extra pertinent now that we have seen Season 2.
Throughout some technical difficulties, the video’s narrator states “Vault-Tec Vault residing resides the dream! And it is the one method to security, until you are the President of america or one thing like that, and you’ve got a mountain in Colorado to go beneath and direct the occasions of the world. Not many people are that. There’s solely a kind of. And his varied and varied advisers, I am positive they’re going to be superb. However you will not! You will not be superb if a vault is out of your value vary.”
So, in line with the present, the President is beneath Colorado in a bunker, and we simply met that very same President in Fallout Season 2. Fascinating! I’ve a sense we’ve not seen the final of him, then, and I totally anticipate Cooper would possibly meet him as soon as once more.
