Did Fallout Just Confirm Season 2 Aliens? Aaron Moten and Todd Howard Reveal Their Favorite Set Secrets
Aaron Moten hints Fallout season 2 is headed for the stars.
Fallout season 1 already went hard on production design — they even gave the cast real, working Pip-Boys — and it sounds like season 2 is cranking that up even more. Also, one of the stars may have casually blurted out a very specific, very weird Easter egg. Buckle up.
What they showed off
In a chat with GamesRadar+, Bethesda director Todd Howard pointed to a deep-cut crowd-pleaser: a fully realized shop in Freeside — yes, the bustling New Vegas hangout you probably sprinted through a hundred times. He says the team built it down to the last shelf trinket, the kind of place where you can literally browse ammo and Stimpaks because it all actually exists, even if most of it will barely make the frame.
- Howard’s pick: the Freeside store from New Vegas, constructed so completely that he found himself genuinely shopping the aisles. It’s the kind of nerdy detail where they built it simply because it might land in the corner of a shot.
- Aaron Moten — back as Maximus — talked up a Brotherhood of Steel warehouse set packed with surprises. He was apparently pulling props out and asking if they could sneak them on camera. One item stood out: an alien in a fridge. Howard quickly moved to shut that down before it drifted into spoiler territory.
...the alien in the fridge, that one’s a good one.
About those aliens
If your lore brain just lit up: yes, Fallout has aliens. The Zetans have popped up across the games, most notably in Fallout 3’s Mothership Zeta DLC. But don’t expect little green guys to stroll in for a chat with the Ghoul or square up with the Brotherhood of Steel. This sounds more like the team stuffing the frame with winks and oddities — the kind longtime players will spot immediately and newcomers will clock as fun, weird set dressing.
The when and where
Fallout season 2 hits Prime Video on December 17. If you want to plan your binge with military precision, there’s a full season 2 timeline and release schedule out there too.
