Attention Vault Dwellers: When Amazon‘s Fallout TV series premieres April 11, Twitch users will be able to watch the entire first episode live and for free with some of the platform’s top streamers.
“Adventuring through the Wasteland is dangerous, take a friend along for the journey,” Twitch tweeted April 5, along with a complete list of streamers who’ll broadcast the show’s debut ep: Shroud, BrookeAB, TheOnlyRyann, DEERE, CohhCarnage, KingGothalion, ThatBronzeGirl, DansGaming, SweeetTails, Elspeth, Techniq, Swiftor, GassyMexican, Tooniversal, and bloodyfaster.
For those not in the know, the Fallout TV series is based on the long-running video game franchise of the same name, which follows various factions in a retro-flavored post-nuclear-apocalypse world. That world is populated with everything from fresh-faced Vault Dwellers (aka the descendants of those who were privileged enough to secure a spot in a bomb shelter a couple hundred years ago) and radiation-soaked ghouls to robots and mutated animals.
Amazon picked up rights to the project in 2020. Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten star in lead roles–Purnell as a Vault Dweller, Goggins as a gunslinging ghoul, and Moten as a member of the notoriously insular Brotherhood of Steel.
And, since Fallout is in fact a video game title, it makes sense that Amazon would go to subsidiary Twitch for promotion.
It’s also promoting the Fallout show by making Fallout 76, the latest entry in the franchise, free on Prime Gaming for the month of April.
We don’t know if participating streamers will have any Fallout goodies to hand out to viewers during their streams, but at least for those not subscribed to Prime Video, this event will be a way for them to get a Nuka-Cola-sized sip of the show’s vibe for free.
