Fallout Day Brings Museum Expansion, Tokyo Cafe Return, and a Nuka Twist Flavor Vote

Bethesda has unveiled a slate of real-world Fallout partnerships as part of the ongoing Fallout Day festivities.

The standout for me is the expansion of the World of Fallout exhibit at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas. The updated exhibit will feature props, costumes, and memorabilia from both the games and the Amazon TV series. Two new galleries will double its footprint, adding interactive installations, museum artifacts, and interpretive displays. Check out pictures of the exhibit in the slideshow below:

Globally, the Fallout Cafe is returning to Tower Records in Tokyo for a second year, serving Fallout-themed food and exclusive merchandise. We've got images of what to expect if you can make the trip to Japan, including the menu, below:

Back in the US, the third annual Fallout Night with the Texas Stars is scheduled for October 24. Attendees can snag a collectible Fallout bobblehead.

And finally—perhaps most importantly!—Bethesda and Jones Soda have teamed up again for Project T.W.I.S.T. (Taste-worthiness Initiative for Shelter Transition), inviting fans to help choose the flavor of Nuka Twist. This matters because Nuka Twist's flavor has never been established in-game. Voting takes place on the Jones Soda website from October 21-31.

Nuka Twist was added to Fallout 76 as a Nuka-Cola variant consumable in the Nuka-World on Tour update. Drinking it grants a 10-minute +2 buff to one of your seven S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, making it quite useful—just watch out for those +5 rads.

Earlier this week, Bethesda showcased three eye-catching mods for Fallout 4, one of which launched yesterday, October 20. Fallout Day itself falls on Friday, October 23 (October 23, 2077, is of course the day the bombs fell in the Fallout timeline, sparking the Great War that created the irradiated wasteland fans have explored for decades).

Fallout's 30th anniversary arrives next year, so expect major announcements from Bethesda then. What's in the works? Everything from Fallout 3 and New Vegas remasters to Fallout 5, with an Obsidian-developed Fallout spinoff somewhere in the mix. Work continues on Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter, and Season 3 of the Fallout TV series is also on the way. In short, Microsoft is doubling down on Fallout, with new Xbox boss Asha Sharma pushing for increased profitability.
