![]() Even though Fallout 4 seemed more reserved with its aliens, Fallout 76's Invaders from Beyond update meant there could be no going back.Īs a result, it can no longer be claimed that Fallout's aliens are little more than a fun reference. While Mothership Zeta did explicitly confirm that aliens were much more than just fun Easter eggs to come across throughout the wasteland, Bethesda still could have used a little more caution when adding aliens to Fallout games. Prior to Fallout 3, Bethesda had at least some plausible deniability when it came to blending genres between Fallout's nuclear post-apocalypse and its extraterrestrial escapades, but the "Mothership Zeta" add-on was just the first of many nails in that coffin.

But while there's plenty of potential on hand with the likes of the Roswell incident or the Battle of Los Angeles, Fallout has gone much further than just references and environmental storytelling. Given that Fallout takes much of its inspiration from American society and culture in the 1950s, it's no surprise that aliens would have wound up being referenced somewhere within the series due to the UFO craze that swept the nation at the time. But the franchise has always played it fast and loose about whether these various alien encounters have any significance in games, regardless of how developed its aliens have become. Aliens have always existed in Fallout, from its very first game which had an encounter with a flying saucer to as recent as Fallout 76 with its "Invaders from Beyond" update in 2022.
