A TV show based on the Fallout series of video games debuted on Amazon Prime this week, and now Fallout Shelter and Fallout 76 are both getting new content themed around the show.

Free-to-play vault management game Fallout Shelter will get a new eight-mission questline. Playing through this quest will net players six new vault dwellers, including Ella Purnell’s Lucy, Aaron Moten’s Maximus, and Walton Goggins’ The Ghoul. Bethesda is also adding other items themed around the series to the game, including a pre-war Cowboy outfit, The Ghoul’s revolver, a wedding dress, and a Vault 33 jumpsuit. That last item will be available for free to anyone who logs into the game between today and May 7.

Fallout 76 is also getting some in-game items based on the Amazon Prime series. Between today and May 7, a Vault 33 jumpsuit will be available for free for all players, while Fallout 1st subscribers can also pick up a West Coast Duster and Hat in the in-game store. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will also be able to get the Vault 33 Survival Kit, which includes Lucy’s Vault 33 backpack, lunch boxes, perk card packs, and three S.C.O.R.E. Boosters. That backpack will also be available as a Twitch Drop.

Bethesda is taking this opportunity to get more people into Fallout 76 by letting people play the game for free between today and April 18 and offering it at an 80% discount this month. Keep in mind that the game is already part of Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra’s game catalogs, so the discount will be most useful for PC players or those who don’t have Microsoft or Sony’s gaming subscriptions.

3 years after its reveal, Arc Raiders reemerges as a completely different game

When Arc Raiders was first announced at the 2021 Game Awards, it was a free-to-play co-operative shooter. That's changed.

It's not unheard of for games to change direction after they are announced, with Fortnite's transition from its Save the World mode to a battle royale during early access being one of the most prominent examples. Still, those looking forward to Arc Raiders should know that what they will be getting when the game launches next year is not what was originally shown off.

Amazon’s latest game is definitely not what you’re expecting
Characters run down stairs in King of Meat.

After a whirlwind few years, I thought I’d finally gotten a handle on Amazon Games’ style. The publisher has started finding success with games like New World and Lost Ark, both of which cater to the kinds of hardcore PC players who love dense RPGs. I figured that would be the company’s focus going forward as it settled into a big genre niche and made a play for a more international audience.

And then I played King of Meat.

Two Point Museum is a worthy follow-up to Two Point Hospital and Campus

We’re far from the tycoon and simulation game boom of the 2000s, where you could find a game about managing pretty much any kind of business. However, Two Point Studios and Sega have kept the spirit of that era of PC gaming alive with their games. Two Point Hospital was an excellent spiritual successor to Theme Hospital, while Two Point Campus let players build and manage universities. Now, the pair is back with Two Point Museum.

As you can probably gather from its title, Two Point Museum is all about building and managing museums. I’ve lived near both Chicago and Washington, D.C., which are great cities for museums, so I enjoy visiting them. Because of that, Two Point Museum was immediately appealing to me. While there are some ethical questions that the comedic management game will need to address, I thoroughly enjoyed what I played of Two Point Museum prior to its announcement.
