Fallout Season 2 Is Happening, Amazon Confirms
Ahead of the series premiere of Fallout last week, some fans of the franchise worried that dropping all of the Season 1 episodes on a single day might hurt its chances for renewal. Fortunately, that didn’t turn out to be the case. Amazon Prime Video has officially renewed the series, and Fallout Season 2 is on the way just eight days after the show’s debut.
“Praise be to our insanely brilliant showrunners, Geneva [Robertson-Dworet] and Graham [Wagner], to our kick-ass cast, to Todd and James and all the legends at Bethesda, and to Jen, Vernon and the amazing team at Amazon for their incredible support of this show. We can’t wait to blow up the world all over again,” said executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy in a press release.
“Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have captivated the world with this ground-breaking, wild ride of a show,” added Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke. “The bar was high for lovers of this iconic video game and so far we seem to have exceeded their expectations, while bringing in millions of new fans to the franchise. The cast led by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan have knocked it out of the park. We’d like to thank Jonah and Lisa and our friends at Bethesda for bringing the show to us, as well as Geneva and Graham for coming aboard as showrunners. We are thrilled to announce season two after only one week out and take viewers even farther into the surreal world of Fallout.”
As part of the announcement, Prime Video touted Fallout for landing among its top three titles to date. Season 2 doesn’t currently have a start date for production, but it could be filmed in California to take advantage of a $25 million tax break from the state. As far as where the next season will be set, our money is on New Vegas.
Fallout Season 1 is now streaming on Prime Video.
Rocky 5 And Rocky Balboa Are Finally Coming To 4K Blu-ray
After nearly 50 years, the Rocky franchise is now nine movies deep. While almost all of them have gotten the 4K treatment over the years, there are still a couple of these films–1990’s Rocky 5 and 2006’s Rocky Balboa–that don’t yet have 4K Blu-rays for you to put on your shelf. But that won’t be the case for much longer, because you can preorder the 4K Blu-ray sets for both Rocky 5 and Rocky Balboa right now.
These new Rocky Blu-rays include each movie in 4K, standard Blu-ray, and digital download formats, and package it all in collectible steelbook cases featuring iconic shots from the movies on the cover and interior. The Rocky Balboa 4K Blu-ray set includes separate discs for the original theatrical release and the extended director’s cut.
$40
In the fifth movie, Rocky finds himself a working class man once again after Paulie’s accountant wastes all their money on bad real estate deals, and the washed-up fighter tries to find a new lease on life by training and mentoring a young fighter named Tommy Gunn. But after Tommy dumps Rocky for a competitor, Rocky ends up having to fight his own protege in an unsanctioned street fight. While not a particularly beloved entry in the franchise, Rocky 5 does its own thing in a way that’s gotten easier to appreciate the longer this series goes on.
You can preorder the Rocky 5 4K USH Blu-ray for $40 at Amazon and Walmart.
$29 (was $65)
16 years after Rocky 5, Sylvester Stallone returned for this revival, which sees a 60-year-old Rocky take on the current heavyweight title-holder–played by real boxer Antonio Tarver–in a charity bout. This one has aged surprisingly well, thanks to stunt matches like this becoming more common and prominent in the streaming age.
While the set is normally priced at $65, you can preorder it for just $29 at both Amazon and Walmart.
The Rest Of The Rocky Film Franchise On 4K Blu-ray
As mentioned above, the entire rest of the Rocky franchise, including the recent Creed films, are already available on 4K, and you’ll find Amazon links for those below.
Save $10 On Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Preorders
What’s old is new again, as Luigi is making a return to a familiar haunted mansion with Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD on Nintendo Switch launching June 27. If you haven’t locked in a preorder yet for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, you can save $10 on the game by preordering at Geek Alliance. Like most first-party Nintendo games, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD has a $60 price tag, but you can get it for just $50 with this deal. The catch here is that your order won’t arrive until after launch day, but Geek Alliance offers free shipping, and you will only need to wait a few extra days.
First launched on Nintendo 3DS under the title of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD gives the game a new coat of high-definition paint similar to the third entry in the series. Alongside the refreshed visuals there are quality-of-life updates, but beyond that, all the same puzzles, enemies, and even the ScareScraper multiplayer mode has been retained in this ghost-busting game starring Luigi.
For more Luigi-themed deals, Amazon has some adorable First4Figures collectibles of the green-clad plumber available. The special edition features Luigi with his adorable trusty companion, Polterpup, and both editions come with bright LED functions installed in the Poltergust G-00 backpack. You can also grab the threequel, Luigi’s Mansion 3, on Switch for $50 as well.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD isn’t the only classic game coming to Switch this year. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is also getting a remake that launches next month. The classic 2004 GameCube title looks fantastic with its updated HD visuals, and Geek Alliance is also offering $10 off on a preorder for it–though, just like with the Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD preorders, they won’t be delivered until a few days after the launch date. Alternatively, you can pick up the Paper Mario remaster with a buildable battle stage diorama, but it’s only available in the UK.
If you’re looking for deals on already released Switch games, Walmart has discounts on several titles, including Super Mario Bros. Wonder, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and more. Check the list below for the full selection.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Preorders Are Discounted
Two decades after it first launched on GameCube, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is getting a second life with a remake on Nintendo Switch. The remake doesn’t release until May 23, but you can snag a physical preorder for just $50 (down from $60) at Geek Alliance. That’s one of the best preorders we’ve seen for the popular upcoming title, and if you’ve yet to reserve a copy, this deal is definitely worth a closer look.
$50 (was $60)
This deal is offered by GeekAlliance and includes free shipping along with worldwide delivery. Less than 500 copies are available at this price, so you’ll need to move fast if you want to snag The Thousand-Year Door for just $50.
Note that the game will ship on May 23–so while you won’t be playing it on May 23, you’ll save a few bucks if you’re willing to wait a couple extra days.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door features enhanced graphics and what Nintendo is calling “a suite of additional changes,” though the company has yet to elaborate on those updates. Regardless, it’s shaping up to be a great remake that’ll be popular among nostalgic players and RPG fans alike.

Ori Dev’s New RPG No Rest For The Wicked Gets A Big Launch-Week Discount
The gorgeous action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked launched today in Steam early access, letting PC players experience the dark fantasy adventure’s first act plus a selection of side content. The game normally costs $40, but you can grab it for just $31.31 thanks to Green Man Gaming’s launch deal on Steam keys.
To get the full No Rest for the Wicked launch discount, you will need to be a GMG XP member. Signing up is free, but you also have to spend at least $1 to unlock permanent membership perks, including access to exclusive discounts like this one. All games purchased at Green Man Gaming are immediately delivered to your email as official product keys that unlock via Steam.
No Rest for the Wicked is the next game from Moon Studios, the acclaimed development team behind Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. No Rest for the Wicked swaps the whimsical 2D side-scrolling of the Ori games for a dark fantasy top-down action-RPG approach inspired by Diablo and From Software’s Dark Souls, while featuring the rich, hand-drawn visual style the studio is famous for. Just, y’know… way grimmer and darker than anything we saw in Ori.

No Rest for the Wicked’s initial early access build features the first chapter of the campaign, side quests, optional boss battles, and a repeatable dungeon. Being a loot-driven RPG, there’s also plenty of gear to collect. Be aware that buying No Rest for the Wicked’s initial early access build is not the full game (at least not yet). As with other early access titles, it’s lacking all the features and content planned for the final version–and chances are early players will encounter bugs and unpolished elements, but that’s to be expected. However, early access players get an exclusive Carim Armor set as a reward for helping playtest the game, and thanks to Green Man Gaming’s deal, you can save on the game, too. This one purchase grants access to future updates and the full version of No Rest for the Wicked.
While Moon Studios has not announced a firm release date for No Rest for the Wicked, the final 1.0 release will include online co-op and competitive modes for up to four players, the full story campaign and world map, a farming system, and tons of additional side quests, bosses, dungeons, loot, and more. All this content will added via routine updates during the early access period on PC. The final version will also launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
