Fans of the Fallout franchise have discovered an intriguing clue in the newly released trailer for Fallout season 2 on Amazon Prime Video. Many believe they’ve identified a familiar voice belonging to an actor who has been connected to the series since the first game debuted in 1997.
The voice comes in at one minute and ten seconds into the trailer, issuing an ominous warning to Walton Goggins’s character, The Ghoul: “You’re going to need friends. There’s a war coming…” While the voice is processed through a filter, fans are buzzing with speculation regarding the identity of the speaker.
Numerous viewers have pointed to the possibility that the voice belongs to Ron Perlman, an iconic actor known for his roles in films like Hellboy and a longtime contributor to the Fallout video games. He has been the voice behind the narrative framework for several game installments, including Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 76, and Fallout Tactics. Additionally, he made appearances in Fallout 4 as a newsreader and in the original game as Butch Harris.
Comments from viewers on platforms like YouTube reflect the excitement over the potential announcement, with fans expressing their hopes for Perlman’s return. One user remarked, “Dude!…don’t toy with me, is that Ron Perlman playing a super mutant?!?! Definitely sounds like him,” while others chimed in with enthusiastic affirmations of the theory.
Bringing Ron Perlman into the television adaptation of Fallout would undoubtedly be a significant moment for fans, combining nostalgia with a new creative direction. However, it’s still uncertain whether he will portray a Super Mutant, another Ghoul, or possibly even reprising one of his previous roles from the games.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere of Fallout season 2, set to launch on December 17th on Prime Video. Viewers can subscribe to Prime Video with a 30-day free trial that transitions into a monthly fee of £8.99 thereafter. As anticipation builds, the incorporation of recognizable voices like Perlman’s could add an exciting layer to the story.
