Culkin’s Caesar’s Legion outfit in the second trailer suggests a connection to that faction. One mystery from Fallout: New Vegas now has an answer thanks to the series. Despite its cult status, Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, endured a troubled development. Due to a short development cycle, many planned elements were cut due to time and resource constraints. Among these was Vault 24.

Because it couldn’t be visited in the game, its purpose became the subject of numerous fan theories until Season 2 revealed more details.
