I didn’t expect Fallout to win Best Adaptation at The Game Awards 2024 when Netflix’s Arcane was such a hit

• Fallout won Best Adaptation at The Game Awards 2024
• Arcane fans feel ‘robbed’ that the hit animated series didn’t win
• Both shows have been huge successes and are enjoyable to watch even if you’re a newcomer to the video game franchises

Arcane fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment about the outcome of one of today’s winners at The Game Awards 2024, following the announcement that Amazon‘s Fallout TV show was crowned ‘Best Adaptation’.

Arcane, one of the best Netflix shows, brings to life the League of Legends universe through the use of striking animated visuals and explosive action. Meanwhile, one of the best Prime Video shows, Fallout, “brings one of gaming’s most iconic series to life with a highly satisfying blend of source material devotion and narrative originality”, as Tom Power wrote in TechRadar’s Fallout season 1 review.
