After yesterday’s predictions, Bethesda finally announced the next Fallout game.
In case you missed yesterday’s recap of current events regarding the title, let’s repeat the video, then we go into the new information below that:
Aside from the teaser, all we know is that Bethesda is officially going to talk more about Fallout 76 at E3. However, Kotaku, based on three anonymous sources, revealed some information about the new game.
Initially, its prototype was planned to be the multiplayer part for Fallout 4, but since then, the project evolved. It got a story, missions, base building, as well as other, survival-related gameplay mechanics. Its name originates from Vault 76 – this base was opened twenty years after the start of the nuclear war. (Fallout 3 and 4 are set two hundred years after the war ended.) Its developers are rumored to be Bethesda’s Maryland studio, as well as their latest team in Austin, formerly known as BattleCry Studios, who worked on an online hero action game called BattleCry before it got canceled. (Hm…)
We have a suspicion that Fallout 76 could be a battle royale game with 76 players… and the video has a date hidden in it. October 27. That falls on a Saturday this year, but it’s likely to see the game launch in late October on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
