Fallout 76 – Massive Updates

Big changes are coming to Fallout 76 that will drastically change the game as we know it. It appears that Bethesda has really been listening to player’s demands as the developer/publisher plans to add new quests, human NPCs, and real RPG dialogue choices in an update entitled Wastelanders.

This overhauling new content will arrive sometime in “Fall 2019”, and you can get a glimpse of what’s to come in this new trailer.

In addition, Fallout 76 appears to have caught the Battle Royale bug that’s been going around. The new PvP mode entitled Nuclear Winter will be available for a “sneak peek” today, 10th June! Check out the trailer for it here.
