We’re tracking fresh set leaks for the third season of the Fallout television show, and the images circulating online allegedly show a dressed location built to read as a West‑Tek facility. According to Insider Gaming, eagle‑eyed fans have already spotted an oddly familiar building being used on set — one that US viewers of The Office will likely recognise.
What Was Reported
Insider Gaming reports that the show’s third season is currently in production and that a series of images posted on social media reveal crews working at a location dressed to represent West‑Tek. The outlet says West‑Tek is the in‑universe corporation behind the story’s forced evolution science, including the FEV that produced the franchise‑famous Super Mutants, and that the production has recreated one of the corporation’s facilities for the shoot.
The leaked photos allegedly show the production occupying a building that fans will recognise from the US sitcom The Office. Insider Gaming notes that the building in question is the same one used for the company Sabre — which acquires Dunder Mifflin in season six of that show — and that it is located in a place called Westlake Village. The outlet adds that the building appears in the background of an introductory video used in The Office to welcome acquisitions to Sabre.
On the narrative front, Insider Gaming points out that the second season of the Fallout TV show “wrapped up very nicely,” but that it’s not clear where West‑Tek would slot into those existing storylines. The outlet also reports that the show’s third season “isn’t expected to be released until late next year, probably in time for the game's thirtieth anniversary in October,” a claim we’re passing along but urging readers to treat with caution.
The Source & Credibility
The images at the centre of this leak were reportedly posted on social media and then collected by Insider Gaming. That chain — social posts into an outlet’s coverage — is why we’re using terms like “allegedly” and “if true.” Visual set leaks can be revealing, but they can also be misleading without confirmation from production or the showrunners.
Why Fans Think The Identification Fits
- Fans familiar with The Office noticed the same exterior used in the show’s season six material, as highlighted by Insider Gaming.
- The choice of a corporate office building to represent a fictional tech/corporate outfit like West‑Tek is consistent with the kind of set dressing we’d expect for that kind of storyline — though that’s observational, not confirmation.
Take this with a pinch of salt: while the photo evidence has a plausible reading, we don’t have direct confirmation from the production or credited sources beyond the social posts and the outlet’s coverage.
What It Could Mean
If true, the presence of a West‑Tek facility on set suggests the television adaptation may be preparing to explore elements of the franchise tied to forced evolution and the FEV — the canonical cause of Super Mutants in the wider Fallout universe. Insider Gaming points out that it’s not obvious how West‑Tek fits into the loose ends left at the end of season two, so this could represent a new direction or an expansion of existing arcs.
It’s also notable that the production has chosen a location in Westlake Village that carries pop‑culture baggage because of The Office. Insider Gaming wonders if that coincidence is intentional — a sly wink or an economical reuse of a recognisable corporate facade — but again, that interpretation is speculative.
We’ve seen high‑profile leaks of production or early footage before in other franchises, and those instances vary wildly in how accurate or revealing they end up being. For context on how these kinds of leaks can play out, see our earlier coverage of leaks like Mass Effect 5 footage and other high‑profile rumours such as the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 update, which show the range between meaningful reveals and noise.
Why This Matters
For fans of Fallout, a confirmed West‑Tek appearance would be notable because the corporation and its work on FEV are central to several of the franchise’s most recognised threats and story beats. If the show is indeed introducing a West‑Tek facility, it could open the door to adaptations of well‑known game lore around mutation, experimentation and their consequences.
That said, we should be clear: these are social media images compiled and reported by Insider Gaming, and the production has not publicly confirmed plot details tied to the set photos. We’re excited by the possibility, but we’re also sceptical — take the leak with
