Fallout Co-Creator Settles Longstanding Debate and Reveals Hidden Secrets

Tim Cain, co-creator of the original Fallout RPG, has settled the long-standing debate on who dropped the first nuclear bomb in the game's universe. Confirming popular theories, Cain revealed that it was China who initiated the nuclear apocalypse due to their discovery of the US military's development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). The virus, which caused mutations in creatures and humans, was being hidden by the US, leading to China's decision to launch the first strike. Cain's explanation aligns with in-game lore and sheds light on the relationship between the US, Canada, and China in the Fallout universe.
