Samsung is launching a multifaceted collaboration with Amazon, Bethesda Softworks, and Xbox to celebrate the upcoming premiere of Fallout Season 2 on December 17, 2023. This partnership will allow fans to engage with the iconic post-apocalyptic universe through various platforms, enhancing their viewing and gaming experiences.
Enhanced Viewing Experience on Samsung Devices
To kick off the festivities, Samsung TV Plus will stream the critically acclaimed first season of Fallout subscription-free from December 3 to December 25. This initiative provides both new audiences and long-time fans an opportunity to immerse themselves in the series ahead of the second season’s release. The series, produced by Kilter Films, explores the struggles of survivors in a world devastated by nuclear war, balancing moments of humor and drama.
Samsung’s partnership with Amazon also includes a promotional campaign featuring digital billboards in New York City’s Times Square. According to Emily Aldis, Global Head of Distribution and Partnerships for Prime Video, the collaboration aims to enhance the viewing experience for shared customers through engaging marketing and seamless integration of the Prime Video app on Samsung Smart TVs.
Interactive Gaming on Samsung Gaming Hub
In addition to streaming, fans can dive into the gaming aspect of the Fallout universe. The latest update, Fallout 76: Burning Springs, is now playable via the Xbox app on Samsung Gaming Hub. This expansion marks the game’s largest, introducing new content in post-nuclear Ohio, coinciding with the television series’ launch.
Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda, emphasized the importance of maintaining the essence of the games while introducing new narratives. “When Jonah and I first talked about bringing Fallout to the screen, it was always about doing the world of the games right, but also bringing to life new stories in that world,” he stated. The integration allows players to interact with characters from the show, including The Ghoul, voiced by actor Walton Goggins, creating a seamless connection between the game and series.
This collaboration exemplifies Samsung’s commitment to redefining entertainment by connecting various mediums. As Kevin Beatty, Head of Product for Samsung Gaming, noted, “Whether you are exploring the wasteland and playing on Samsung Gaming Hub, reliving Season One on Samsung TV Plus, or watching Season Two through Prime Video, Samsung devices are the best place to fully experience the Fallout universe.”
For those looking to engage further, the action of Fallout 76: Burning Springs can also be shared via Twitch, where viewers can earn a custom chat badge by subscribing or gifting a subscription to any streamer in the Fallout 76 category throughout the month of December.
This collaboration not only brings together different aspects of the Fallout universe but also offers fans a rich tapestry of experiences across streaming and gaming platforms, all within the ecosystem of Samsung devices.
