Prime Video’s ended with a clear nod to a much-loved Fallout video game, but there are still many questions left unanswered by Season 1.

In an interview with , showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet confirmed Robert House “will be involved” in Season 2.
Fallout video game fans know Robert House as Mr. House, one of the main characters in Obsidian’s . In that game, Mr.
House runs New Vegas as a brain plugged into a supercomputer that has extended his existence from the pre-war era into the post-war era.

“Las Vegas in the world of Fallout is Robert House’s town. Robert House will be involved in Season 2.” Season 1 ends with a Power Armor-clad Overseer Hank stomping towards New Vegas, with The Ghoul and Lucy MacLean in hot pursuit.
Wagner’s tease suggests newly knighted Brotherhood of Steel member Maximus will also end up in New Vegas. All roads, then, lead to a post-apocalyptic showdown on what's left of The Strip. The question is, what form will Robert House take in .
