Go behind the scenes with exclusive Fallout 76 concept art

As our month-long celebration of Fallout’s 25th anniversary draws near to a close, we’ve covered many different aspects of what makes this franchise so special (or S.P.E.C.I.A.L.) from saluting the series’ music to countless Fallout fans sharing their memories on social media.

However, while we could be here all year talking about Fallout, we did want to make sure we didn’t forget to raise a toast to its art, specifically concept art. Hundreds – if not thousands – of individual pieces, from napkin sketches to entire painted landscapes, are created when crafting the world of a Fallout game. Concept art like this not only gives the developers details for making assets, they help set the look, feel and tone of the world players are about to inhabit.

For example, check out some of these never-before-released concepts from Fallout 76. Any seasoned resident of post-nuclear Appalachia has tangled with this brute at least once or twice in their time – it's the Scorchbeast!

Fallout 76 players old and new will be familiar with this moment depicted in this rendition of every Dweller’s big day – emerging from Vault 76.

Outside Appalachia, we have this environmental artwork featuring The Pitt, the destination of Fallout 76’s major Expeditions update, sending players off to these destroyed remains of Pre-War Pittsburgh.

As players trek through Fallout 76’s wilderness, they may have stumbled upon a few noticeable locations. See the amazing art created by the team at Bethesda Game Studios before it was brought to life on your screens.

Curious to learn more of Fallout’s design origins? We also invite you to explore this expansive gallery of artwork from the legendary Adam Adamowicz, whose work served as a massive influence on the aesthetics of Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and beyond.
