* MythologyGag: The protagonist uses a Pip-Boy 2000 MK VI, a wrist-mounted version of the Pip-Boy from the original two games.
** [[VideoGame/Fallout4 MacCready's toy wooden soldier]] can be seen beside the [=TV=] in the teaser trailer.

* CallBack: the Pip-Boy featured in the trailer is a different model than the Pip-Boy 3000 of ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} 3]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas New Vegas]]'' and the Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV of ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}} 4]]''. It's aesthetically similar to the Pip-Boy 2000 of classic [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}} Fallout]] games, without being an exact reproduction.

* CosmeticallyAdvancedPrequel: although the game is the earliest yet to take place (excluding ''4'''s prologue), the trailer shows that Vault 76 more closely matches the appearance of Vaults in ''4'' rather than ''3'' or ''New Vegas''.

'''Fallout 76''' is an upcoming SpinOff game in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series from [[Creator/{{Bethesda}} Bethesda Game Studios]] for UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and PC.

* CallBack: The Pip-Boy briefly seen in the teaser trailer looks more like the Pip-Boy 2000 seen in [[VideoGame/Fallout1 the first game]] than the variations of the Pip-Boy 3000 seen in the 3D games.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Some fans find it peculiar that [[Music/JohnDenver John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads"]], a song from the 1970's, exists in a world culturally cemented in the 1950's. ''VideoGame/Fallout2'' establishes that Music/EltonJohn's "Rocket Man" and ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' movie, among other forms of pop culture, still exist in Fallout's alternate history.

* SequelHook: Vault 76 has been mentioned before in both ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'', only to be fully explored here.

* TitleDrop: An announcement to the new dwellers of Vault 76 intones "When the fighting has stopped, and the '''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''' has settled, you must rebuild."

Little is known about the plot, but a computer's date (2102) and the general intactness of everything indicate that this might be the earliest game in the series. Vault 76 is mentioned in previous games and supplemental material to be a “control Vault,” free from any social experiments and designed to reopen soon after the war ends so the dwellers can begin repopulating the area, so it might just be [[RunningGag an okay place to live]] after all.

* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: This is not in fact the 76th ''Fallout'' game. (at most, it's the 9th) Instead, it takes its name from its initial setting, Vault 76.
