Stern Pinball has begun teasing a new pinball machine based on Amazon's Fallout TV series, releasing two short trailers featuring a Pip-Boy and a Vault door, with a full reveal promised for 3 September. The teasers effectively confirm earlier leaks suggesting Fallout would be Stern's next major release, marking an unusual full-circle adaptation that has gone from video game to television series to pinball machine.

Stern has not yet disclosed pricing, editions, gameplay details or which part of the Fallout universe the machine will draw on, with more information expected just ahead of the PAX West gaming convention. The tie-in arrives as the franchise's profile continues to grow: Fallout's television second season expanded into New Vegas, a third season is already filming with returning and new cast members including Aaron Paul and Emily Mortimer, and Bethesda has confirmed Fallout 5 is in early development alongside remasters of Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
