From Deadline.com (https://deadline.com/2020/07/fallout-television-series-based-game-franchise-amazon-studios-westworld-creators-1202976079/):
The worldwide best-selling game franchise Fallout is headed to television via Prime Video. Following months of dealmaking, Amazon Studios has licensed the rights to the games for Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy to develop a TV adaptation, which has received a series commitment.
This marks the first major project to come out of Westworld creators/executive producers’ big overall deal with Amazon Studios. The duo’s Kilter Films is producing Fallout alongside Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. Prime Video and Bethesda just posted a short “easter egg” video teasing the project.
Here's the associated link on Twitter (https://twitter.com/AmazonStudios/status/1278733996357111808).
But the question remains, will this be the precursor to the eventual Mortal Engines TV series adaptation? I'd prefer the Ender's Game TV series first.

ah yes, video game movies. those are known for their quality.

It won't feel authentic, unless they only have three actors show up for their ADR work and all the story is told in the form of humorously posed skeletons in the background of literally every shot.

Video game TV series are better than movies. :)

Yes!
ALSO: If you want a live-action Fallout fix, here's the short series, Nuka Break. Excellent stuff.

That's the very least we'll get until there's an official release of Amazon's Fallout series.

It'd be intesting to see which Fallout they are using as a base -- Fallout 1+2+New Vegas and Fallout 4+76 are so disintinctive from each other on a subtextual level as not to be comperable. Setting the common aestehtically elements (50s retrofuturism) and shared fundational elements (the same historical divergence point, the same ideological compass for in-universe characters), they can even be considered unrelated. Which of course isn't suprising given the whole history of the franchise.
