The folks at Wayside Creations have released Red Star, a new 25-minute fan film that connects to their serialized Fallout: Nuka Break series.

“As the Ranger makes his way through the wasteland,” the official description for Red Star reads, “his purposefully solitary life is interrupted when he is faced with an important choice: remain safely anonymous or become known as a hero?”

Wayside Creations are no strangers to making fan videos set in the world of Fallout—they first created Fallout: Nuka Break – The Movie back in 2011, and then a follow-up miniseries that continued the adventures shortly after. Fallout: Nuka Break – Red Star is “a dark look into the makings of a legend,” set in the time period between the original fan film and season one of Fallout: Nuka Break.

I love fan films such as these, especially when they’re done as well as what we get in Red Star. So, check it out, and if you want to catch up with the rest of Nuka Break, you can do so via the link below the video.
