After weeks of speculation, Bethesda finally unveiled their first proper look at Fallout 76 during their E3 2018 presentation. As widely reported, it will be an online multiplayer game, which may take some getting used to by Fallout fans.
While it may not be the mainline Fallout game many wanted, 76 will still, at the very least, be an interesting experiment for Bethesda. Judging from what we’ve seen so far, it’s nothing if not ambitious, though the main test will be to see how it actually plays. It’s one thing to say all the right things, but it’s another thing to deliver on them.
Here’s everything you need to know about Fallout 76.
What is Fallout 76’s release date?
Fallout 76 will release on November 14th, 2018. It has plenty of different editions, including the Power Armor Edition and the Deluxe Edition.
Where can I play Fallout 76?
Fallout 76 will launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Xbox One owners who pre-order the game will be granted early access to the beta, which has yet to be properly detailed.
What genre does Fallout 76 belong to?
Fallout 76 will be an open-world survival game similar to Rust in that you will always have to be online to play it.
Fallout 76 Synopsis
“Bethesda Game Studios, award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4, today revealed Fallout 76, the online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Work together, or not, to survive. Under the threat of nuclear annihilation, players will experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.
Reclamation Day, 2102. Twenty-five years after the bombs fall, you and your fellow Vault Dwellers—chosen from the nation’s best and brightest – emerge into post-nuclear America. Play solo or join together as you explore, quest, build, and triumph against the wasteland’s greatest threats.”
