He praised the decision as a "really smart" move. Additionally, the Brotherhood of Steel will make an appearance in the series, and the show is considered part of the franchise's official canon. Howard expressed enthusiasm about the show, stating "We view what’s happening in the show as canon." He also shared his appreciation for how others have interpreted the franchise, saying, "That's what's great, when someone else looks at your work and then translates it in some fashion. I sort of looked at it like, 'Ah, why didn’t we do that?'"
