Encyclopedic overview
Fallout 4 is a 2015 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fourth main game in the Fallout series and was released worldwide on November 10, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, with versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S released on April 25, 2024. The open world is set within a post-apocalyptic environment that encompasses the American city of Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts region, known in-game as "the Commonwealth".
The main story takes place in the year 2287, 10 years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after a nuclear holocaust known as the "Great War". The player assumes control of a character simply referred to as the "Sole Survivor", who emerges from a long-term cryogenic stasis in Vault 111, an underground nuclear fallout shelter. After witnessing the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their son Shaun, the Sole Survivor ventures out into the Commonwealth to search for their missing child.
