Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.

Expect a The Last of Us meets Silo vibe with some actual comedy (that's a compliment). The series will be set within the same continuity as the video game franchise but will be an original story. Executive producer Todd Howard said he wanted to avoid adapting the video games.
